We’re a third of the way through 2022, so now’s a good time to rethink your investment strategy for the rest of the year and beyond. And with unpredictability being the new norm, we wouldn’t blame you for wanting to stabilize your portfolio a bit, which is why you may want to consider adding real estate to your investment mix.
Sure, real estate investing can sound intimidating, not to mention expensive. And while the former may be true (although we’re here to make it a bit less so), the latter is a bit
off base. These days, you have several options and minimum investment levels to choose from if you want to start investing in real estate, including using platforms like Fundrise to dip your toes into the market the same way you buy and sell stocks: directly from your phone, without trading through a broker or paying high transactional fees. It’s a total vibe, and anyone can get in on the action—without the current challenges of the traditional housing market, like low inventory, endless bidding wars, and rising interest rates (unless you’re into those high-stress situations, to which we say, more power to you).
Read on to familiarize yourself with all corners of the real estate investing market.

Leasing out property you own is a good way to bring in
steady income. You can either manage the property yourself (and take home a larger piece of the pie) or hire a property manager (and split up your earnings).
Rental payments
There are three ways to earn money when it comes
to real estate investments:
The ROI on real estate
If you’re looking for regular cash flow with fewer risks
than equity, debt investing could be a good option. Plus, real estate debt funds are backed by collateral (the real estate property), which offers added security for investors.
Interest payments
Equity investments can initiate the potential for regular cash flow and/or a one-time payout when the property turns over—but investing in equity is slightly riskier
than investing in debt.

Consider active investing if you’re interested in being a landlord or you can’t get enough of HGTV. Fix-and-flips, wholesale flips, traditional rental properties, and vacation rentals can bring in solid income, but they also require a decent amount of time, energy, and management.
