Fractional real estate investing has become a force to be reckoned with in the real estate market.

With prominent venture capital firms and entrepreneurial powerhouses like Jeff Bezos pouring hundreds of millions into the burgeoning space, it’s easy to see it growing exponentially in the coming decades. The boom will likely be even greater now that the primary cause of investors’ complaints has been removed — investors will not need to bet on 2030’s real estate market when they purchase fractional shares.

“Investors should take into account that real estate is a long-term investment” is a phrase often used in the prospectus of various real estate investment platforms, as they may demand hold periods of up to seven years. But Landa has forged a new path. The New York-based startup combines all the benefits of fractional real estate ownership with the ability to sell your shares and redeem your funds whenever you wish.

This seemingly tiny feature makes a big difference. It eliminates the biggest drawback of fractional real estate investments and offers the liquidity of public real estate investment trusts (REITs). Despite their similarities, public REITs dropped by 24.9% in 2022 while fractional real estate shares stood their ground.

But not all fractional real estate platforms are the same. With Landa, you can invest in individual residential rentals of your choice. You can cash out at any point by selling your holdings through the company’s app.

Landa goes out of its way to find properties that are likely to spike in value and provides access to real estate that otherwise only would be available to a wealthy minority. The properties it acquires are located in seven markets, all of which have seen growth in recent years. To demonstrate its level of confidence in every property posted to its website, Landa invests hefty amounts in all of them.

Potential investors can see what caught the attention of Landa’s real estate experts by reading the documents for every offering. If they decide to go through with the investment, investors receive a liability-free portion of the income the property has generated. Over time, you can build a portfolio of income-generating rentals and see their value, history and growth trajectory through the company’s app. 

So far, 200,000 users have joined the platform, so shares of properties on offer sell out fairly quickly because the types of properties Landa showcases aren’t available often. But some offerings are available now, and you can buy shares for less than $10 apiece.
