Why Fractional Ownership?
Here’s a quick comparison of fractional ownership opportunities vs other asset classes. Image courtesy – Myre Capital.
If you are looking at stable recurring income with a possible upside/appreciation on the principle, fractional ownership is highly recommended. And as given above, this is an excellent opportunity.
What the above chart does not mention is liquidity – Commercial CRE scores low on that. While one could argue that the shares are in Demat format – what we mean is that exiting it would still take about 4-6 months.
The ecosystem is still developing – probably in a year or so we would be able to trade your shares as easily as stocks – that’s when we could truly add ‘liquidity’ as a benefit.
