Portfolio management control: Discover how fractional real estate investing offers more control, and transparency than REITs.
REITs are a popular choice for many first-time investors seeking exposure to real estate. With a low barrier to entry and easy liquidity, REITs provide a straightforward way to explore this asset class. However, the lack of transparency in REITs raises important questions about the specific properties included. Most of the time, the locations, property types, and true value of each asset within a REIT are not fully disclosed. Additionally, the value of a REIT share can often be influenced by speculation, resulting in a "premium" factored into the asking price.
Without a comprehensive understanding of property values and the number of homes in each location, gaining full confidence in a REIT investment can be challenging.
Fractional real estate investing addresses these transparency issues by allowing investors to select individual properties and providing detailed information about each asset. This includes insights into the property's value, general location, and other key details. This level of clarity helps knowledgeable investors make informed decisions and tailor their portfolios to align with their specific investment strategies.
Selecting individual properties to invest in provides investors with direct control over their portfolios, unlike REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), which bundle multiple properties into a single fund. In a REIT, returns are determined by the collective performance of the portfolio, which may include both high-performing and underperforming assets. Fractional investing, on the other hand, enables investors to align their portfolios with specific goals and preferences.
For instance, with Realbricks the Initial Offerings page allows investors to choose specific properties that match their strategies. Investments can begin with as little as $100, enabling the creation of a personalized portfolio that reflects carefully defined financial objectives.
One of the challenges associated with REITs is the lack of transparency. Detailed information about the specific properties within the trust is often unavailable, making it challenging to fully understand what is being purchased. Fractional real estate investing addresses this issue by offering a clear and comprehensive view of each property, including its value, location, and key details.
This transparency provides an investment experience that closely mirrors direct property ownership, fostering greater confidence and enabling well-informed decisions.
One of the standout benefits of fractional real estate investing is its ability to encourage investors to expand their knowledge about their investments. Unlike REITs, where property details are often obscured, fractional investing provides access to valuable information about each property, such as its general location, property type, true value, and historical performance.
This educational component empowers investors to tailor portfolios based on research and specific financial goals. By analyzing market trends, understanding property appreciation rates, and exploring the unique characteristics of various cities, investment decisions can be informed and strategic, potentially increasing the likelihood of positive returns.
For instance, selecting a city with strong economic growth and a history of stable property appreciation allows for focused investments in promising areas. Similarly, choosing property types that align with a defined strategy—such as single-family homes or multifamily units—creates a portfolio backed by insight and careful planning.
This informed approach transforms the investment process into a learning journey, helping investors build confidence and a deeper understanding of the market. Fractional real estate investing not only offers control but also equips investors with the tools and knowledge to achieve long-term success.
Fractional real estate investing offers many of the same benefits as direct property ownership. Rental income and property appreciation remain integral aspects, mirroring the advantages of a full property purchase. The key distinction lies in the "fractional" nature of the investment—ownership and the associated benefits are shared among multiple investors.
This approach creates a scaled-down yet authentic version of the real estate investment experience. It provides an accessible option for those looking to explore property ownership without the significant financial commitment typically required for outright ownership, making it an appealing choice for a wide range of investors.
Owning property outright often involves numerous challenges, such as managing tenants, addressing maintenance issues, and overseeing property operations. Fractional real estate investing removes these burdens while still providing the advantages of property ownership.
Platforms like Realbricks enhance this experience by managing all aspects of property maintenance and tenant relations on behalf of investors. This approach ensures a seamless and stress-free way to benefit from real estate investments without the complexities typically associated with direct ownership.
Realbricks offers an additional advantage by ensuring that all listed properties are owned outright, free of loans or mortgages. This shields investors from the impact of interest rate fluctuations, removing one of the major variables in real estate investing. This strategic choice ensures that the properties generate consistent returns, unaffected by rising borrowing costs.
By combining transparency, control, and hassle-free ownership, fractional real estate investing provides a modern and accessible pathway to real estate investing. Realbricks makes this approach even more appealing, offering not only the benefits of property ownership but also the freedom to focus on growing your wealth.

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.
