There are plenty of ways to invest in real estate without having to deal with the complexities and heavy lifting that come with property development and renovation, according to MoneyWise.

Fully managed residential real estate

Do you trust the markets to take care of your future? In today’s economic environment, having options besides public stock, bonds, and mutual funds may reduce the risk in most portfolios.

One of the ways to get in the real estate game but avoid being a landlord is through Arrived, an online platform that simplifies the process of investing in shares of rental homes and vacation rentals.

You can browse the curated selection of homes, and when you find a property you like, you can select the number of shares you want to buy. Once you have finalized the transaction, you will start receiving quarterly deposits from the property’s rental income.

Own a piece of a city

You can also own a piece of a desirable city in the United States without actually buying property through Cityfunds by Nada. This online investment platform makes diversified portfolios of owner-occupied properties in the nation’s top cities that are accessible without having to play landlord or even break the bank.

For as little as $500, you can get immediate exposure to multiple properties in places like Austin, Dallas, Miami, Tampa, and many more.

Necessity-based commercial real estate

Necessity-based commercial real estate has proven to be a great performer amidst economic volatility. While this is usually reserved for ultra-wealthy investors, it has recently been made more accessible through First National Realty Partners, a private equity firm.

Accredited investors can break into the commercial real estate market with FNRP and invest their money in shares of grocery-anchored commercial properties. They can then enjoy quarterly income without having to worry about making the right moves.

Fred Hubler, the CEO and Chief Wealth Strategist for Creative Capital Wealth Management Group in Chester Springs, uses real estate heavily in the firm’s household endowment model.

“We like to use the structure of a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust),” he said. “This allows the investor to own a piece of the underlying real estate. So, at the end of the hold period, they will be able to 1031 again into another DST and continue to defer their capital gains until there is a future death and then a step-up to the cost basis. This allows the deferred capital gains not to have to be paid by the investor or their future heirs.”
