Investors lost 100% pricipal and never were paid any interest, Yieldstreet shows the deal to be "Fully Repaid"
This screenshot comes from Yieldstreet’s promotional website, where they present the Atlanta Multifamily Deal as "Fully Repaid"—a statement that is entirely misleading. While the final metrics acknowledge that $0 in principal and interest was paid, the bold "Fully Repaid" label and the stated 0% IRR create a false impression that this investment was neutral rather than a complete failure.
In reality, this deal resulted in a total loss of $28.3 million. A 0% IRR would imply investors at least received their original investment back, but in this case, no principal was returned, making the true IRR effectively -100%. This deceptive framing is not being shown to existing investors who already know they lost everything—it is being used to market Yieldstreet’s platform to potential new investors.
By misrepresenting failed investments in this way, Yieldstreet presents a false track record of success, omitting the critical reality that investors in this deal lost everything. This kind of promotional manipulation raises serious concerns about how Yieldstreet portrays risk and performance to prospective investors.
