Necessity-based real estate

It's right there in the name — necessity-based real estate means these properties serve an essential function. Whether it's health-care facilities, family housing or grocery stores, these types of properties remain in demand because they're always needed regardless of current economic circumstances.

A report by First National Realty Partners stated that in times of market stress, there’s an opportunity to acquire high-quality properties at a discount.

FNRP allows accredited individual investors to access institutional-quality commercial real estate investments — without the leg work of finding deals yourself.

The team has developed relationships with the nation’s largest essential-needs brands, including Kroger, Walmart and Whole Foods, and provides insights into the best properties both on and off-market. And since the investments are necessity-based, they tend to perform well during times of economic volatility and act as a hedge against inflation.

You can engage with experts, explore available deals and easily make an allocation, all in one personalized portal.

Invest in real estate without the headache of being a landlord

Imagine owning a portfolio of thousands of well-managed single family rentals or a collection of cutting-edge industrial warehouses. You can now gain access to a $1B portfolio of income-producing real estate assets designed to deliver long-term growth from the comforts of your couch.

The best part? You don’t have to be a millionaire and can start investing in minutes.

Accessible crowdfunding platforms

The crowdfunding process — which was championed by Cardone — allows everyday investors to pool their money to purchase property (or a share of property) as a group.

Through a crowdfunding platform, you can buy a percentage of physical real estate, including rental properties to commercial properties. You can even buy a stake in digital real estate. Some options are targeted at accredited investors, sometimes with higher minimum investments that can reach tens of thousands of dollars.

In line with this approach, Cardone recently reminded his followers on X.com the importance of investing rather than spending extra money on liabilities.

“All extra money should be allocated for investments in either yourself, your business or a sure thing investment,” Cardone wrote.

If you have a little extra money to invest, there are platforms like Cityfunds that allow everyday investors to invest in real estate without breaking the bank.

Cityfunds lets you benefit from the hot housing markets in major U.S. cities including Miami, Los Angeles, and Nashville.

Cityfunds secures an interest in a home’s future value in exchange for cash. As homes’ values appreciate, so does the value of Cityfunds equity investment alongside the homeowner. So you can invest in portfolios of these owner-occupied properties, gaining access to the $20 trillion home equity market that spans multiple top U.S. metros.

With a community of over 10,000 users, CityFunds allows you to invest in a city you love for as little as $500 – without the hassle of dealing with high home prices, an expensive mortgage or the hassles of being a landlord.

Private-asset diversification

With private equity real estate funds, you can get access to a wide range of different real estate investments, such as residential, commercial or real estate debt, meaning you aren't keeping all of your money tied to the fortunes of a single property.

With Fundrise you get access to an expansive portfolio of alternative investment opportunities spanning real estate, private debt and venture capital — each calibrated for consistent growth.

With over two million investors and managing over $7 billion in real estate assets alone, Fundrise is an accessible way to diversify your portfolio with the potential of yielding dividends every quarter.

Getting started is easy: Just sign up and answer a few questions about yourself and your investing preferences. Then, Fundrise will suggest a portfolio best suited to your goals and risk tolerance.

If you’re nor sure where to start with real estate investments or what’s best for your portfolio in the long run, it might be time to call a professional to help you get on the right path to wealth.
