Fractional real estate ownership lets multiple investors buy shares of a property, making it easier to invest without owning the entire property.
Real estate has long been considered one of the most stable ways to grow wealth—but traditional ownership can be out of reach for many. That’s where fractional real estate ownership comes in. Instead of needing tens of thousands of dollars for a down payment, investors can now buy real estate shares, giving them access to property income and appreciation with far less capital.
Let’s break down what fractional real estate ownership really means, why it’s gaining popularity, and how it’s reshaping the investment landscape.
Fractional real estate ownership is the concept of buying shares in a property, rather than owning the entire thing outright. This means multiple investors can collectively own a single property, each holding a portion—or "fraction"—of the home.
Think of it like owning stock in a company. When you buy real estate shares, you’re purchasing a slice of a property and gaining access to its potential profits, like rental income and appreciation. Property appreciation is often gained over time, and investors can earn passive income with quarterly dividend distributions. In Q4 2024 Realbricks paid an impressive 2.25% return to shareholders. Extrapulated, that equates to a 9% annual return.
This concept isn’t entirely new—wealthy accredited investors have done it for decades through partnerships, crowdfunding or private funds—but modern technology has made it more accessible to everyday investors. Realbricks takes this a step further, by introducing the Realbricks app, available on both the App store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).
When a property is listed on a fractional investing platform, it's divided into a set number of shares. Each share has a price (for example, $10/share), and investors can buy as many shares as they like, subject to limits. With realbricks an investor can own up to 9.8% of any property. This keeps the playing field even, and doesn’t allow the majority of shares to be owned by any one investor.
As an investor, you earn a portion of the property’s income (like rental payments), and can also benefit if the property appreciates in value over time. You don’t have to manage tenants, fix leaky faucets, or deal with mortgages. Realbricks handles all of that for you. This allows for a truly “hands off” real estate investing experience.
Take a moment to read a review left by a Realbricks investor:
“Real estate investing doesn’t get any easier than this. Only 100 bucks to start. Then you can invest in any or all of their properties. I started about 6 months ago and received dividends paid already. Six months ago I started with one property. Now in 2025 I added four more. The customer service is outstanding. Nick is so down to earth and excellent at explaining everything, making me feel like an expert. My favorite new thing is sending my link to my friends. I earn shares when they invest! Too cool. I can’t say enough good things about Realbricks.

The Claim: “This is just like REITs.” REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) are pooled investments that trade on stock exchanges.
The Reality: Fractional ownership is direct and tied to individual properties, allowing more control and transparency. Read our article here for a full comparison of REITS vs Fractional ownership.
The Claim: “This must be risky.”
The Reality: Like all investments, there’s risk. But by investing in carefully vetted properties, and spreading your capital across multiple assets, you can manage that risk effectively. Not to mention, the intrinsic nature of real estate allows it to historically remain relatively stable, even during market fluctuations. It’s no coincidence that about 90% of millionaires in the U.S. own real estate.
The rising cost of real estate has priced many people out of traditional ownership. At the same time, more people are seeking passive income and ways to diversify their portfolios. It’s no secret that some are rushing to crypto or penny stocks to try to find this quick fix, but as many know, good things take time, and a quick fix always creates higher risk. Real estate investing is a solid way to build income over time, in tangible assets that have real world value.
Fractional ownership provides access, flexibility, and simplicity. Investors can start small, learn as they go, and build a portfolio of income-generating assets—all without becoming landlords.
And thanks to SEC-regulated platforms like Realbricks, this once-exclusive strategy is now available to nearly anyone in the U.S.
Not everyone wants to—or can—own a house outright. But that doesn’t mean you should miss out on the benefits of real estate.
Fractional real estate ownership makes it possible to invest in property the way you might invest in stocks: gradually, strategically, and on your own terms.
At Realbricks, we’ve taken it a step further. We purchase properties outright—no loans, no mortgages, no interest rates—so you can invest with peace of mind. We handle everything: property management, maintenance, and long-term care. You just focus on building your future.
This isn’t just a new way to invest. It’s a community. It’s a mission to democratize real estate for everyone.
Redefining real estate, brick by brick.

Neptune does not have a public trading market for its Series Interests. While it intends to seek a quotation on PPEX, an alternative trading system (ATS) operated by North Capital Investment Technology, Inc. (“PPEX”) with a view to providing our holders of Series Interests with potential liquidity in the form of a secondary market for their investment in our Series Interests. However, there can be no guarantee that a secondary market may develop, or if it does, as to the volume or pricing with respect to any secondary trading that might develop. The PPEX does not employ market makers to provide liquidity, unlike national securities exchanges. Until Neptune’s Series Interests are listed, if ever, you may not sell the company’s Series Interests. Therefore, it may be difficult for you to sell Neptune’s Series Interests at the time you wish to do so, if you are able to sell them at all. If you are able to sell your Series Interests, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to their public offering price. Because of the illiquid nature of our Series Interests, you should purchase Neptune’s Series Interests only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.
