Beginner's Guide to Fractional Real Estate Investing

Fractional real estate investing is a game-changing approach that allows investors to own shares in a property without buying it outright. This guide introduces beginners to the essentials of real estate investing, offering a pathway to this high performing asset class, without the need for a down payment.

What is Fractional Real Estate Investing?

Fractional real estate investing involves multiple investors pooling their resources to own a portion of a property. Each investor owns a share proportional to their investment which can generate income from rent and has a chance to benefit from appreciation over time. This method dramatically lowers the entry cost for real estate investing, removes the need for any down payment or large sum of money to begin, and diversifies risk when investing in more than one property.

Benefits of Fractional Investing

  1. Accessibility: Fractional real estate investing makes it 10x easier to get started in real estate. Realbricks' initial offerings only have a $100 minimum requirement.
  2. Diversification: By investing in multiple properties fractionally, you can spread risk across various markets and property types.
  3. Professional Management: Properties are managed by Realbricks, reducing the burden of day-to-day management for investors.
  4. Liquidity: The Realbricks market is designed to allow investors to sell shares to other investors, enhancing liquidity compared to traditional real estate investments.

How to Start with Fractional Investing

Starting your journey in fractional real estate investing involves a few steps for consideration:

  • Research: Begin by understanding the basics of real estate as an investment, including market trends and the specific nuances of fractional ownership.
  • Consider Starting Small: For your first investment, you can start small to understand the process and the features without significant risk.
  • Consider Diversification: A general rule of thumb in investing is diversification. Spreading your investments out across different properties can help diversify your portfolio. 

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

New investors should be wary of a few common pitfalls:

  • Overextending Financially: Avoid investing beyond your means, particularly when you're new to the process.
  • Neglecting Due Diligence: Always perform thorough due diligence on properties and the platforms through which you're investing. We here at Realbricks are transparent and love to help out the curious investor. Any questions, do not hesitate to ask our support team at support@realbricks.com
  • Ignoring Exit Strategies: Understand the liquidity of your investment and have clear exit strategies in place to realize your returns. The Realbricks secondary market allows for liquidity by selling your shares to ther investors. No need to wait for the property to be sold, or for a quarter to end, like some other similar platforms. Realbricks has worked hard to lower not only the barriers of entry into the real estate market, but also the users ability to sell when ready.
