One of the things you hear most often is people building wealth by investing in real estate.
Real estate investing can be intimidating and risky. I am going to share with you my Top 8 ways to invest in real estate -- without managing properties. 🏘️
00:00 Intro
01:59 ➡️ 1. Exchange Traded Fund (ETF)
This is kind of like mutual funds - but they track specific markets. They are not actively managed and focus on meeting market averages. Vanguard Real Estate Fund is a popular choice but there are lots of options.
06:12 ➡️ 2. Real Estate Mutual Funds
These have a focus on real estate and work to outpace what the average is. They are actively managed so you can expect some higher fees. But, you should expect a higher return.
09:03 ➡️ 3. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
A REIT is a company that specializes in real estate. They own and usually operate income-producing real estate. This could include commercial properties ranging from apartments and shopping malls to warehouses and hospitals.
An example of this type of company would be ReMax. These companies help you buy and sell homes or commercial properties.
12:45 ➡️ 5. Invest in home construction
These companies do not manage properties. An example of this type of company is Pulte Homes. There are hundreds of these companies - I’m sure you can find one in your area.

Online Brokers to Buy ETFs, Mutual Funds or Stocks:
You can buy a house, duplex or apartment complex to generate rental income. But who wants the headache of dealing with that? Hire a property manager to take care of all of the details for you.
16:33 ➡️ 7. Real Estate Notes
A private real estate note requires you to lend money to individuals that buy properties and fix them up to flip or rent.
17:32 ➡️ 8. Online Real Estate Options
This is my favorite! You can get into this for about $500 and you can do it all from your computer at home. My favorite company for this right now is Fundrise.
The process is similar to peer-to-peer lending but you are not investing into notes or loaning people money. Instead, you are pooling your funds with others.
