RealtyMogul

Teams: RealtyMogul: A Real Estate Crowdfunding Platform for Diversified Investing RealtyMogul is a robust platform designed for real estate crowdfunding, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios and generate passive income. The platform offers growth-oriented real estate investment trusts (REITs), which provide consistent distributions through both debt and equity investments. To get started with RealtyMogul, investors must commit at least $5,000. However, some investment options, such as 1031 exchange properties, require a higher minimum investment. Beyond REITs, RealtyMogul also provides opportunities to invest in individual properties, 1031 exchanges, and retirement accounts. When assessing investment opportunities, RealtyMogul evaluates factors such as the company’s track record, the property itself, market conditions, and projected returns. Customer support is available via phone and email from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT. Investment holding periods vary, but funds will typically be locked in for at least a year. REIT investments offer greater liquidity compared to individual properties and 1031 exchanges. Both accredited and non-accredited investors can use RealtyMogul, though non-accredited investors are limited to the platform’s REIT offerings. Those with a net worth below $1 million (including or excluding a spouse) may find alternative real estate platforms that offer a wider range of investment opportunities. Real estate investing is generally not recommended for beginners. RealtyMogul REITs For non-accredited investors, RealtyMogul primarily offers public, non-traded REITs. The minimum investment required is $5,000, and investors can choose from two REIT options: Income REITs: These diversified, non-traded REITs invest in various property types and locations. Their primary goal is to meet distribution targets and provide monthly income to investors. This REIT has maintained 98 consecutive months of distributions, generating passive income through both equity and debt investments. Apartment Growth REITs: These REITs focus on residential apartment communities with high occupancy rates or strong growth potential. With 27 quarterly distribution periods, this fund aims for long-term value appreciation through renovations and stabilization. Rental income from tenants contributes to cash flow. Investors seeking a broader mix of investments with a higher annual distribution rate may prefer the Income REITs fund. On the other hand, those focused on long-term capital growth through multi-family properties may find Growth REITs a better fit. Pros Cons

Tantiem

Teams : TANTIEM is on a mission to make real estate investment more accessible. While real estate remains the preferred investment for many in France, offering strong returns with low volatility, it is increasingly out of reach for a growing number of people. Rising barriers include generational inequality, with first-time buyers struggling to secure loans, and social inequality, where initial investment requirements often exceed €20,000. Even for those who can still invest, the process is complex—finding the right property, securing financing, managing tenants—all for returns that can be disappointing. TANTIEM aims to change that by offering a new, simplified approach to real estate investment. Each month, investors can purchase shares in carefully selected residential and commercial properties across France. Rental income and potential capital gains are distributed proportionally, allowing investors to build a profitable real estate portfolio without the usual constraints. Through TANTIEM, individuals gain access to diversified and high-yield properties, investing at their own pace, with expert support every step of the way.
