Real estate has long been a cornerstone of wealth-building for high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. Family offices commonly allocate part of their portfolios to real estate, although allocations differ materially by geography and investment strategy: UBS's 2025 Global Family Office Report, based on a survey of 317 family offices, reported regional real estate allocations ranging from 6% in Latin America to 18% in the United States. For decades, though, the barriers to entry kept everyday investors locked out. No more. Today, multiple pathways allow you to own income-producing properties without fielding 3 a.m. tenant calls, managing repairs, or committing the entire down payment required to buy a whole investment property yourself. Down payment requirements vary by loan type and property: Redfin reported that the typical mortgaged U.S. homebuyer put down $64,000, or 15%, in March 2026 across 40 major metropolitan areas, and the CFPB notes that many mortgage products require at least 3% to 5%, although higher down payments may reduce financing costs. Investment-property loans frequently differ from owner-occupied financing, and buying a whole rental outright still concentrates a large share of your capital in a single asset. This guide examines seven methods for headache-free real estate investing in 2026, starting with fractional ownership through mogul, a platform focused on institutional-quality single-family rentals for individual investors.

Key Takeaways
Fractional ownership provides property-level exposure without landlord duties: mogul offers membership interests in property-specific LLCs that own identifiable homes, with monthly rental distributions once a property is operational, appreciation potential, governance rights, and pass-through tax reporting, while professional teams handle property operations
Single-family rentals generate returns from both rental income and appreciation: Over the 1993 to 2023 period, single-family rentals produced a 13.8% IRR compared with 9.8% for the S\&P 500, and over a 30-year hold the asset class averaged 190% higher returns with 45% less volatility, based on data from NAREIT, the US Federal Reserve, the Case-Shiller Home Index, and Bloomberg. Results still vary by market, financing, operating costs, and holding period. For additional market context, ATTOM's 2025 Single Family Rental Market Report projected an average 7.45% gross three-bedroom rental yield across 361 counties, a gross measure that excludes appreciation as well as many operating and transaction costs
Institutional-style underwriting is a disciplined screening process: mogul reports that fewer than 1% of reviewed properties pass its diligence process, which was developed by former Goldman Sachs executives
First $10k protection for new members: mogul covers up to $10,000 in losses if qualifying investments made within a new member's first 7 days show a loss after one year, paid from mogul's own balance sheet capital and subject to the program's terms
Monthly income rather than quarterly: Once a property is operational, mogul generally processes rental payouts monthly, so members can receive rental income up to 12 times per year
Tax treatment depends on your circumstances: Pass-through structures report depreciation on a Schedule K-1, which may reduce taxable rental income. Whether any resulting loss is currently deductible depends on basis, at-risk amounts, participation, income, and the IRS loss limitation rules
1. Fractional Real Estate Ownership Through mogul
Fractional real estate investing is among the most asset-specific paths to property exposure without landlord responsibilities. Rather than pooling capital into diversified funds, fractional ownership gives you a stake tied to specific, identifiable properties, complete with the address, financial projections, and operational details.
How Fractional Ownership Works
mogul purchases income-generating residential properties, places each into a state-registered LLC, and fractionalizes ownership of that LLC into interests that investors can purchase. In legal terms, investors purchase membership interests in the property-specific LLC that owns the home rather than an individually recorded deed interest. This structure provides:
Property-level economic exposure through LLC membership interests tied to an identifiable property
Monthly rental income distributions once a property is operational, based on actual collected rent rather than projections
Pass-through tax reporting, including depreciation reported on a Schedule K-1 for each property
Governance rights generally weighted according to ownership percentage, with routine matters handled by the licensed property manager and larger or strategic matters subject to owner voting
Appreciation potential when properties sell after the intended hold period, which mogul describes as approximately 5 to 7 years in typical cases, within a broader 3 to 10 year range
Why mogul Stands Out in the Fractional Space
mogul is a fractional real estate platform club founded by former Goldman Sachs executives, and the company reports more than $10 billion in combined institutional real estate deal experience. Before launching mogul, the founding team built and ran institutional single-family rental strategies at Goldman Sachs, including a platform that scaled from $0 to $1 billion in under 12 months. mogul reports more than $40 million in assets invested through the platform and more than 13,000 investors on the platform.
Key Company-Reported Metrics:
15% to 20% target annual IRR across current offerings
18.8% average annual return reported across mogul assets, compared with 13.8% for single-family rentals broadly, 9.8% for the S\&P 500, and 9.3% for REITs in mogul's 1993 to 2025 annual return comparison
90% of investors invest a second time, and mogul reports that follow-on investments average approximately 3x the initial amount
Fewer than 1% of reviewed properties pass mogul's institutional-style diligence process
12% minimum projected IRR hurdle, described by mogul as a bear-case underwriting threshold
First $10k protection for new members, covering up to $10,000 in losses on qualifying investments made during a new member's first 7 days, subject to program terms
Fee Structure:
0% recurring AUM-based management fee
2.5% of collected rental income as an ongoing fee
A one-time fee capitalized into the transaction, currently described on mogul's public pages as 5%. mogul's legal terms itemize this as 3% of the purchase price paid at closing plus a potential additional 2% setup fee where a property requires additional setup
Property-level operating expenses, including third-party property-management costs, are borne by the Property LLC
Fees applicable to any specific offering are set out in that offering's documents.
Property Types Available
mogul offers multiple rental strategies to match investor goals:
Short-term rentals (STR): Airbnb-style properties with stays of fewer than 30 days. mogul targets approximately 13% to 18% annual levered returns for this strategy
Mid-term rentals (MTR): Stays of more than 30 days and less than one year, serving workforce housing demand, traveling professionals, and relocating tenants. mogul targets approximately 17% to 22% annual levered returns for this strategy
Long-term rentals (LTR): Traditional annual leases with steady cash flow
Sale-leasebacks: Also listed among the strategies described on mogul's public website
Across current offerings, mogul describes overall targets of approximately 15% to 20% annual IRR and roughly 8% to 12% cash-on-cash yield, depending on the individual property and operating strategy. These figures reflect mogul's underwriting targets.
Suitability note: Fractional property ownership may be especially suitable for investors who prioritize asset-level selection, monthly distribution cadence, and pass-through tax reporting over public-market liquidity.
2. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
REITs allow investors to buy shares in companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. Exchange-listed REITs offer stock-like liquidity, since you can buy and sell shares on major exchanges during market hours. Liquidity terms differ for non-traded REITs, private REITs, and interval funds.
How REITs Work
REIT qualification generally requires that the dividends-paid deduction equal or exceed 90% of REIT taxable income, excluding the dividends-paid deduction and net capital gain, along with an additional technical foreclosure-property component. That test refers to REIT taxable income, not 90% of revenue, funds from operations, or cash generated, and dividend amounts can fluctuate. The structure also differs fundamentally from property-specific ownership:
Portfolio-level exposure: You invest in a company's entire portfolio rather than individual buildings
Publicly traded REITs: Offer daily liquidity, with share prices that move alongside equity markets
Non-traded REITs: Stated yields, liquidity terms, and fee structures vary by program
REIT mutual funds and ETFs: Provide diversification across multiple REITs in a single investment
Types of REITs
Equity REITs: Own and operate income-producing real estate (offices, apartments, retail)
Mortgage REITs (mREITs): Invest in mortgages and mortgage-backed securities
Hybrid REITs: Combine both equity and mortgage investments
Considerations
Much of a REIT's distribution may be reported as ordinary dividend income, but a Form 1099-DIV can also report capital-gain, qualified-dividend, or nondividend amounts that reduce basis. Eligible qualified REIT dividends may also be included in the Section 199A deduction calculation, generally up to 20% of qualified REIT dividends, subject to the applicable rules and holding-period requirements.
Publicly traded REITs can also experience equity-market volatility that differs from contemporaneous private-property valuations. It is worth noting, however, that the broad FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index delivered a positive 11.36% total return in 2023, so 2023 should not be characterized as a broadly negative year for REIT investors. Security prices reflect multiple factors, including asset performance, financing, interest-rate expectations, leverage, management, and broader capital-market conditions.
Suitability note: REITs may suit investors prioritizing daily liquidity and diversification across property types, or those who prefer a completely hands-off approach without selecting individual properties.
3. Real Estate Crowdfunding Platforms
Real estate crowdfunding pools capital from multiple investors to fund property acquisitions or development projects. The model has expanded access to real estate investments that previously required institutional capital or accredited investor status.
How Crowdfunding Works
Platforms aggregate investor capital to purchase or develop properties, then distribute returns based on ownership stakes. Key distinctions exist between platform types:
Equity crowdfunding: Investors own interests tied to properties and participate in appreciation
Debt crowdfunding: Investors fund loans secured by real estate and receive interest payments
Hybrid models: Combine elements of both equity and debt investments
Platform Landscape
The crowdfunding space includes various operators with different approaches.
Fund-Based Platforms: Some platforms operate fund-based models where investors purchase shares in diversified portfolios rather than selecting individual properties. Fundrise's Flagship Fund currently lists a $10 minimum and describes quarterly, penalty-free withdrawal opportunities, which remain subject to the fund's governing terms.
Property-Level Platforms: Other platforms allow investors to choose specific properties for their portfolio. Arrived's help center states a $100 minimum initial investment for its offerings. Some Ark7 property series have offered interests starting at $20 per interest with no minimum subscription beyond the security price, while other Ark7 series have priced interests at $100 each with a one-interest minimum, so the minimum is offering-specific.
Access for non-accredited investors is often provided through Regulation A offerings. Ark7's 2026 offering circular identifies its offering as a Tier 2 Regulation A transaction, and non-accredited investors can be subject to offering-specific investment limits and eligibility requirements.
Key Considerations
Liquidity varies widely: Some platforms offer periodic redemption or repurchase windows, while others use multi-year lockups
Fee structures are not standardized: Acquisition or sourcing charges, annual asset-management costs, property-management expenses, servicing charges, sponsor promote, and disposition fees differ across platforms, and the fee bases used to calculate them differ materially
Reported returns vary materially by platform, strategy, period, and methodology
Suitability note: Crowdfunding may suit investors who want real estate exposure without meeting accredited investor requirements, particularly those who prioritize low minimums over property selection control.
4. Real Estate Private Equity Funds
Real estate private equity funds pool capital from investors to acquire, improve, and sell properties for profit. Value-add and opportunistic funds often pursue higher target returns than stabilized strategies, generally by accepting greater leverage, execution risk, and illiquidity. Higher targets do not ensure higher realized net returns, and comparisons with public vehicles are complicated by differing leverage, appraisal-based valuation, fee structures, vintage year, asset type, and risk.
How Private Equity Real Estate Works
Fund managers raise committed capital, deploy it across property acquisitions, execute value-add strategies, and return proceeds upon property sales. The structure involves:
Capital calls: Investors commit funds that managers draw down over time
Hold periods: Typically 5 to 10 years for closed-end funds
Fee layers: Management fees plus carried interest above a hurdle rate. A 2026 SEC filing states that underlying private-market funds generally charged management fees of 0% to 2% and carried interest of approximately 0% to 20%, which is a common illustrative range rather than a universal rule
J-curve effect: Returns are often negative in early years before value-creation strategies materialize
Access Requirements
Many private offerings are limited to accredited investors. Individuals may qualify under the SEC's accredited investor standards through net worth exceeding $1 million, individually or jointly, excluding the primary residence; individual income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years with a reasonable expectation of the same in the current year; joint income exceeding $300,000 under the corresponding timing test; or certain qualifying professional credentials, including Series 7, Series 65, and Series 82 licenses held in good standing.
Minimum commitments vary by fund and can range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars or more, depending on the fund, share class, distribution channel, investor type, feeder structure, and manager discretion. Some platforms have begun offering access to non-accredited investors through Regulation A offerings.
Fund Types
Core funds: Lower risk, stabilized properties with steady cash flow
Core-plus funds: Moderate value-add opportunities with existing income
Value-add funds: Properties requiring repositioning, renovation, or lease-up
Opportunistic funds: Development, distressed assets, or significant repositioning
Suitability note: Private funds may suit accredited investors with longer time horizons who accept illiquidity and the J-curve in exchange for professional management of value-add strategies.
5. Real Estate Notes and Debt Investments
Investing in real estate notes means becoming the lender rather than the property owner. Note investors purchase existing mortgages or fund new loans, earning returns through interest payments rather than rental income or appreciation.
How Note Investing Works
When you buy a real estate note, you acquire the right to receive the borrower's principal and interest payments. The property serves as collateral, although collateral does not prevent loss: foreclosure delays, senior liens, taxes, legal expenses, and declining property values can materially impair recovery.
Performing notes: Borrower makes payments on schedule
Non-performing notes: Borrower has defaulted; the investor may work out the loan or foreclose
First-position notes: Have priority claim on the property in case of default
Second-position notes: Higher stated yields but subordinate to first-position lenders
Returns and Risks
Real estate debt returns vary widely by lien priority, duration, borrower quality, collateral, leverage, and default risk, and the category spans performing residential mortgages, bridge loans, construction loans, commercial mortgages, distressed notes, and levered and unlevered debt funds. Stated coupon, current yield, yield to maturity, and realized net return can differ substantially because of defaults, discounts, servicing expenses, prepayments, and recoveries.
As one institutional reference point, Principal Asset Management reported that the NCREIF/CREFC Open-End Debt Fund Aggregate delivered a 6.1% net total return over the trailing four quarters in its 2025 analysis. That is a single fund benchmark and is not a typical yield for individual notes. Other key considerations include:
Default risk: The borrower may stop paying, requiring workout or foreclosure
Collateral value: The property must maintain sufficient value to cover the loan
Servicing requirements: Most investors use third-party servicers to collect payments
Due diligence complexity: Evaluating borrower creditworthiness and property value requires expertise
Suitability note: Notes may suit income-focused investors comfortable with credit analysis who want real estate-linked returns without property ownership or management.
6. Real Estate Syndications
Real estate syndications bring together a sponsor (general partner) who identifies and manages properties with limited partners who provide capital. This structure allows individual investors to participate in larger commercial deals typically reserved for institutions.
How Syndications Work
The sponsor handles operational responsibilities such as acquisition, financing, management, and eventual sale, while limited partners contribute capital and receive proportional returns. The operating documents ultimately determine the sponsor's powers, investor voting rights, capital-call provisions, and distribution waterfall. Example terms include:
Preferred returns: A 6% to 10% preferred-return hurdle is commonly cited, and a 2025 operator guide describes multifamily terms clustering around 7% to 9%. A preferred return may accrue, be non-compounding, or depend on distributable cash
Profit splits: Waterfalls such as 70/30 or 60/40 LP/GP splits are common examples, although structures can include catch-ups, multiple IRR hurdles, changing promotes, or no preferred return at all
Capital calls: May require additional investment if property needs exceed initial projections
Hold periods: Multi-year targets, often cited in the 3 to 7 year range, with 5 to 7 years common in multifamily deals and limited liquidity throughout
Actual terms, accrual provisions, and promote tiers are offering-specific.
Syndication Types
Multifamily syndications: Apartment buildings with 50 to 500 or more units
Commercial syndications: Office, retail, or industrial properties
Development syndications: Ground-up construction projects
Value-add syndications: Properties requiring renovation or repositioning
Sponsor Considerations
Syndication outcomes depend heavily on sponsor quality. Relevant factors include:
Track record: The number of deals completed and how actual returns compared with projections
Skin in the game: How much of the sponsor's own capital is invested
Fee structure: Acquisition fees, asset management fees, disposition fees
Communication: Frequency and quality of investor updates
Suitability note: Syndications may suit investors seeking access to commercial-scale properties who are comfortable evaluating sponsors and accepting multi-year illiquidity.
7. Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs)
Delaware Statutory Trusts allow investors to own fractional beneficial interests in professionally managed commercial real estate while, when properly structured, qualifying for 1031 exchange treatment. This makes DSTs particularly relevant for investors selling appreciated property who want to defer capital gains taxes.
How DSTs Work
A DST holds title to one or more properties, with investors owning beneficial interests in the trust. The structure enables:
1031 exchange eligibility: Defer capital gains taxes when rolling proceeds from qualifying property sales. Section 1031 applies to qualifying real property held for investment or business use, not property held primarily for sale, and the transaction must satisfy the other like-kind exchange requirements
Fractional institutional access: Gain fractional access to professionally managed commercial properties or portfolios that would otherwise require substantially more capital to purchase directly
Professional management: Sponsors handle all property operations
Periodic income: Monthly or quarterly distributions from rental income, subject to actual property performance
Key Characteristics
Minimums: Sponsor- and offering-specific. A 2026 DST market discussion notes that many current offerings require approximately $100,000, although some are lower and some materially higher
Hold periods: Usually 5 to 10 years with generally no reliable liquidity during the holding period. A 2026 source describes no meaningful secondary market and a sponsor-controlled sale roughly five to ten years after investment, although occasional private transfers may be possible subject to restrictions
Leverage: Varies substantially by offering. A January 2025 DST market review found that no asset-class average LTV exceeded 50%, with multifamily at 39.34%, student housing at 38.32%, office at 28.68%, industrial at 24.24%, and retail at 16.82%. By August 2025, the same market source reported that approximately 62% of offerings were all-cash, although more highly leveraged DSTs remain available
Fees: DSTs can carry material transaction and ongoing expenses, including selling compensation, acquisition costs, reserves, financing expenses, and ongoing sponsor fees, all of which are disclosed in the offering materials and affect expected income net of fees
Tax Considerations
DSTs can offer meaningful tax planning features for property sellers:
Capital gains deferral: Roll qualifying appreciated property into a DST without triggering current tax, provided all exchange requirements are met
Depreciation: Depreciation reported through the structure may reduce taxable income from the investment. Current deductibility of any resulting loss depends on the investor's basis, amount at risk, participation, income, and the IRS loss limitation rules
Estate planning: Under current federal law, inherited property generally receives a basis adjustment to its applicable estate-tax value, which may reduce or eliminate the built-in income-tax gain. Exceptions and estate-specific rules can apply
Suitability note: DSTs may suit property owners completing 1031 exchanges who want professional management and institutional-quality assets, or accredited investors seeking real estate exposure with tax-deferred features.
Why mogul Stands Out for Hands-Off Real Estate Investment
Institutional-Style Property Selection
mogul applies an institutional-style diligence process developed by former Goldman Sachs executives, whose combined deal experience the company reports at more than $10 billion. The public process includes market analysis, a defined buy box, qualitative review, inspection, scenario analysis, and investment-committee review. mogul reports that fewer than 1% of reviewed properties pass its screening.
That buy box concentrates on single-family rentals in high-growth secondary markets with strong price-to-rent dislocation, with off-market and pre-market opportunities sourced at roughly 8% to 10% below market value alongside verified operating actuals. Target markets include Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, and Denver, which have averaged 32.1% rent growth and 58.9% value growth over a five-year period.
That underwriting discipline is reflected in mogul's stated targets. mogul describes overall offering targets of approximately 15% to 20% annual IRR and roughly 8% to 12% cash-on-cash yield before appreciation, depending on the property and rental strategy, alongside a 12% minimum projected IRR hurdle described as a bear-case underwriting threshold.
Loss Protection for New Members
mogul covers up to $10,000 in losses on qualifying investments made within a new member's first 7 days: if those investments show a loss after one year, mogul pays the difference from its own balance sheet capital, subject to the program's terms. First-year protection of this kind is a distinctive feature of the mogul platform.
mogul also runs a Give $50, Get $50 offer: refer a friend and receive $50 when they invest, subject to the referral program terms.
Zero Recurring AUM Fees
Fee models vary across real estate platforms, and many are structured as recurring annual management fees calculated on assets under management. mogul does not charge a recurring AUM-based management fee. Its disclosed charges are a one-time fee capitalized into the transaction, currently described as 5% and itemized in mogul's legal terms as 3% of the purchase price at closing plus a potential 2% setup fee where additional setup is required, together with an ongoing fee equal to 2.5% of rental income. Property-level operating expenses, including third-party property-management costs, are borne by the Property LLC. Fees applicable to any specific offering are set out in that offering's documents.
Monthly Income Distributions
Many real estate structures distribute income on a quarterly cycle, which means roughly 90 days between payments. Once a property is operational, mogul generally processes rental payouts monthly, typically on the second Tuesday, so members can receive rental income up to 12 times per year. Distribution amounts reflect actual property performance.
Property-Specific LLC Ownership with Pass-Through Tax Reporting
Unlike fund-based models that provide 1099-DIV forms, mogul's structure places each property in its own LLC and passes income and expenses through to investors, who receive a Schedule K-1 for each property. Depreciation may offset or even exceed the rental income allocated from that property, which is a loss for tax reporting purposes in mogul's own illustrative example. Whether such a loss can be used against other income depends on the investor's basis, at-risk amount, participation, income level, and the IRS loss limitation rules, and depreciation may be subject to recapture when the property is sold. mogul does not provide tax advice; investors should consult a qualified tax professional.
Technology-Enabled Transparency
mogul provides four free investment calculators: a Rental Property Calculator, an Airbnb Calculator, a Real Estate Calculator, and an Investment Property Calculator. The rental property calculator allows analysis of any U.S. address, including ROI, IRR, cash-on-cash yield, leverage, hold periods, and comparisons across short-term versus long-term rental strategies.
mogul also tokenizes property interests and records investor ownership information on the Avalanche blockchain, creating a permanent record that investors can independently inspect through Snowtrace. The technology sits in the back office, reducing operational costs so that savings can be passed through in the form of lower fees.
Investor Engagement
mogul reports that 90% of its investors invest a second time and that follow-on investments average approximately three times the initial amount, which the company presents as an indicator of investor engagement with the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between investing in a REIT and fractional real estate ownership?
REITs provide shares in companies that own property portfolios, and share prices move with equity markets. Fractional ownership through mogul provides membership interests in property-specific LLCs that own identifiable homes you choose, with rental distributions tied to those specific assets once they are operational. Fractional ownership through an LLC also produces Schedule K-1 reporting with pass-through depreciation, whereas REITs typically issue Form 1099-DIV, which can report ordinary dividends as well as qualified dividends, capital-gain distributions, or nondividend amounts.
How can I invest in real estate with limited capital without becoming a landlord?
Multiple pathways exist depending on your capital level. REITs allow investment at the price of a single share through a brokerage account. Crowdfunding minimums vary by platform and offering: Fundrise's Flagship Fund lists a $10 minimum, Arrived states $100, and some Ark7 series have offered $20 interests while other series priced interests at $100. mogul, which is an investment club rather than a crowdfunding portal, provides fractional ownership in institutional-style underwritten properties and covers up to $10,000 of losses on qualifying investments during a new member's first 7 days, subject to program terms.
What are the typical risks associated with real estate investments that don't require landlord duties?
Key risks across these structures include sponsor or platform risk, property underperformance, illiquidity (most of these investments have multi-year hold periods), market corrections affecting property values, leverage, and the effect of fees on net returns. Distribution amounts reflect actual property performance regardless of stated frequency. Common risk-management approaches include understanding each structure's liquidity terms before investing, maintaining realistic return expectations, and diversifying across multiple properties or investment types.
Do I still get tax benefits if I don't directly own and manage a property?
Often, but the treatment varies by structure. Fractional ownership through an LLC, as with mogul, produces a Schedule K-1 with pass-through depreciation that may reduce or exceed the rental income allocated from that property. Whether a resulting loss is currently deductible against other income depends on basis, at-risk limits, participation, income, and the IRS loss limitation rules, and an eligible taxpayer who actively participates may qualify for a special allowance of up to $25,000 that phases out above $100,000 of modified adjusted gross income and is generally unavailable at $150,000 or more. REITs typically issue Form 1099-DIV without depreciation pass-through, although eligible qualified REIT dividends may qualify for the Section 199A deduction. Properly structured DSTs can qualify for 1031 exchange treatment. Real estate notes generate interest income taxed at ordinary rates without depreciation advantages. Consult a qualified tax professional about your situation.
How does mogul's fractional ownership differ from other real estate platforms?
mogul combines property-specific LLC ownership tied to identifiable homes, monthly rental payouts once a property is operational, no recurring AUM-based management fee, institutional-style underwriting with a reported sub-1% acceptance rate, Schedule K-1 pass-through tax reporting, investor voting rights on major property decisions, and blockchain-based ownership records verifiable through Snowtrace. The platform was founded by former Goldman Sachs executives, with more than $10 billion in combined deal experience reported by the company.
What should I consider when choosing between different real estate investment methods?
Five factors matter most: liquidity needs (exchange-listed REITs offer daily trading, while most other structures require multi-year holds), return expectations and time horizon, tax situation (K-1 pass-through reporting versus 1099-DIV, and 1031 eligibility), minimum investment requirements, and the level of control you want over property selection. Investors who prioritize asset-level selection and pass-through exposure over public-market liquidity may find fractional ownership the better structural fit.
