In 2025, real estate is no longer just for millionaires. Thanks to the rapid rise of fractional investing platforms, everyday investors can now own shares in rental properties, vacation homes, and commercial buildings — with as little as $100.
🏠 What Is Fractional Real Estate Investing?
It’s the ability to buy a fraction (or digital share) of a property through an investment platform. You don’t manage the property — you just earn your share of the rental income and appreciation over time.
Platforms like Lofty AI, Fundrise, and Arrived Homes have democratized access to once-exclusive markets.
💸 Why It’s Trending in 2025
- High mortgage rates have pushed many out of full property ownership
- Millennials and Gen Z prefer diversified, flexible portfolios
- Tokenization is making real estate faster and more liquid than ever
- It’s now considered a hedge against inflation and market volatility
🔎 Pros for Small Investors
✔️ Low entry cost
✔️ Monthly rental payouts
✔️ Fully managed properties
✔️ Portfolio diversification
