A real estate fund is a select collection of various real estate holdings, often including
Tenants In Common (TIC) or
Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) structured properties. Investors purchase investment units in the fund and potentially receive a return on investment from the cash flow generated by the fund’s properties, less any management fees.
Many of the funds are assembled by large real estate providers who hold out a fractional interest of their TIC properties to include in their fund.
- Real estate funds can be an attractive way to sample a particular real estate provider’s TIC business plan.
- Real Estate funds provide a simple means of diversifying an investment portfolio with real estate.
- The initial investment in a fund is substantially lower than a direct TIC or DST investment, (i.e. $25,000 for a fund instead of $100,000 for a DST or $250,000 for a TIC), allowing “beginner” investors to access these institutional-grade real estate opportunities.
- Investors can use money from qualified plans, such as 401(k), IRA, and SEP-IRA accounts, so the investment can be made with pre-tax dollars.
- As with any real estate investment, a fund can decline in value.
- Regular dividend payments may cease at any time.

- Unlike REITs, these types of funds are not publicly registered or traded. Therefore, investment in a real estate fund is not particularly liquid.
- Please note that a 1031 exchange cannot be completed by investing in a fund.
- Before investing in a fund, be sure to speak with your tax or financial advisor to determine how it may impact your tax status and overall financial position.
