We’ve been talking about real estate investment funds lately, and you may say, “This sounds great, but I don’t have the time to be involved in this process.”

Great news – a real estate fund could be perfect for you! One of the biggest perks of real estate fund investing is this — it’s a hands-off experience for the investor.

That’s right, one benefit to investing in a fund, instead of buying an individual investment property, is it allows an investor to diversify their portfolio while still taking a hands-off, passive approach. You commit your money to the fund, and the rest is in the manager’s hands.

Once the investment period begins, most funds pay a monthly or quarterly distribution to investors, then a “bonus” once the fund’s investment period or objective has been completed. You, as the investor, get to sit back, relax, and watch your money grow.

It really is that easy.
