How Groundfloor Is Leading The Fractional Future Of Real Estate Investing

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga The investment landscape is in the midst of a transformation, shifting away from traditional, capital-intensive methods toward more inclusive, accessible approaches like fractional investing. This change is most evident in the real estate sector, where the concept of fractional shares is dismantling long-standing barriers to entry, making it easier for a broader demographic to participate in wealth-building opportunities across this asset class. The Challenges Prompting Change Historically, the real estate landscape has been characterized by a finite group of gatekeepers and hefty capital requirements – which has often sidelined the average investor and made wealth-building seem like a distant dream. Meanwhile, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), though a popular means to invest in real estate, exhibit a number of limitations, including management-specific risks, market volatility and (for private REITs) issues like limited liquidity and high fees. However, it’s these drawbacks that have paved the way for alternatives that democratize access to real estate investment opportunities. The Advantages Of Going Fractional One potential antidote to many of the current pitfalls in the real estate market is fractional investing, which is revolutionizing a variety of asset classes but is particularly beneficial in markets characterized by high prices. Fractional shares allow investors to own a small portion of an asset, thereby lowering potentially steep capital requirements. As everyone well knows, purchasing an entire property can be incredibly expensive, and even investment vehicles like REITs that lower capital requirements suffer from liquidity constraints or limit their availability to accredited investors. However, fractional investing gives investors of all levels (accredited or otherwise) the opportunity for liquid exposure to a wide variety of real estate investments – regardless of the cost. The flexibility of fractional investing also simplifies diversification through exact-dollar investing while eliminating management costs commonly associated with real estate. For these reasons, fractional investing has emerged as a game-changer in the industry, making it possible for more people to partake in the stability and potential returns this asset class offers. Groundfloor: Pioneering A New Kind Of Real Estate Investing At the forefront of this ongoing transition in real estate investing is Groundfloor, a platform that has recognized the limitations of real estate investing and traditional REITs and actively sought to disrupt them. Groundfloor's innovative approach to fractional real estate investing is tailored for both non-accredited and accredited investors, providing access to short-term, high-yield returns backed by real estate assets. Through its platform, investors can invest in pre-vetted real estate loans with as little as $1 – enjoying returns with the potential to significantly outpace those of traditional REITs. Groundfloor's unique model offers a stark contrast to the opaque, fee-laden structure of private REITs, offering transparency, no fees and a direct link between investors and their investments. With solutions like the Groundfloor 3.0 auto-investing app, the platform empowers investors to automatically diversify their investments across multiple projects – blending the ease of technology with the security of real estate investment. A Fractional Future The trajectory of investing is unmistakably moving toward a more inclusive, diversified and accessible model, and fractional investing is part of the vanguard. Platforms like Groundfloor are key participants in this change, but they are also catalysts, breaking down the old barriers and forging a path to a future where investing is democratized for all. As we look forward, fractional real estate investing appears to have a bright future in finance, offering a compelling combination of simplicity and potential growth. With its innovative solutions and commitment to accessibility, Groundfloor stands ready to help lead the way, proving that the future of investing is indeed fractional. Embrace the fractional future and start investing in real estate with Groundfloor today! Featured photo by Blake Wheeler on Unsplash.

Why The 1% Are Adding Alternative Assets To Their Portfolios

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Alternative assets are becoming the new buzzword in the investment world, especially among the affluent 1%. But what exactly are these assets? Simply put, they include investments outside the traditional arenas of stocks, bonds and cash. Think private equity, hedge funds, real estate, commodities and even the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies. The appeal of these assets is their potential for higher, above-market returns and portfolio diversification as a crucial hedge against stock and bond market volatility with largely uncorrelated performance. The Shift In Investment Strategies So why are the wealthiest investors, those in the top 1%, shifting their focus to alternative assets? The reason is twofold. First, these investments have shown the potential to outperform traditional portfolios. UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS), a global leader in wealth management, has responded to this trend by recommending higher allocations to private markets, including private equity, debt, real estate and hedge funds. In fact, UBS has called for a new benchmark, stepping away from a 60-40 stock-bond mix for a 40-30-30 stock-bond-alternatives portfolio. This advice aligns with historical data showing private markets outperforming the S&P 500 over the last three, five and ten-year periods. Secondly, the advent of more accessible private funds – such as evergreen or perpetual funds – has lowered the entry barriers. Minimum investment thresholds now range from under $100,000 up to the more typical $250,000. They also provide more flexibility to withdraw assets, making private markets more liquid and attainable for individuals with assets of $10 million or less. This democratization of alternative investments has caught the attention of many wealthy investors, who are increasingly looking to mirror the strategies of endowments and large single-family offices with substantial private investment allocations. DLP Capital’s Real Estate Funds In this search for alternative assets, DLP Capital provides unique opportunities with a focus on socially impactful real estate investing. The company's approach is grounded in using capital for real estate-backed investments aimed at generating returns for investors while also considering broader community prosperity. Its emphasis on passive investing in real estate funds aligns with the growing trend of investors seeking diversified portfolios that include alternative assets beyond the traditional 60-40 mix of stocks and bonds. DLP Capital offers a range of real estate funds, each with its unique strategy and target returns. For instance, the DLP Lending Fund focuses on providing capital to operators and builders involved in affordable workforce housing projects, targeting annual returns of 9-10%. The DLP Building Communities Fund, aimed at growth, invests in developing attainable single-family and multifamily rental communities p in the Sunbelt region, with a target of 11-13% annual returns. Additionally, the DLP Preferred Credit Fund focuses on mortgage loan origination and acquisitions of rental community assets, while the DLP Housing Fund focuses on equity investments into multifamily rental communities. Those two funds target returns in the range of 10-12%. Led by Founder & CEO Don Wenner, DLP Capital has completed more than 17,000 real estate transactions totaling over $4 billion since its inception in 2006. The company also has over $5.25 billion in assets under management and ownership of upwards of 18,000 housing units, giving DLP Capital a significant presence in the real estate sector. Ultimately, DLP Capital's strategies and achievements provide a clear example of the potential within real estate funds as an alternative asset class for investors aiming to diversify their portfolios. A New Era Of Investment Diversification The move of the 1% into alternative assets signals a potentially significant shift in benchmark investment strategies. For investors considering this path, funds like those offered by DLP Capital represent an accessible and socially responsible entry point into the world of alternative investments. As with any investment decision, aligning with individual financial goals and risk tolerance remains paramount. These assets can bring higher potential returns and diversification, but they also require a nuanced understanding of their unique risks and rewards. Nevertheless, for those ready to embrace this new investment frontier, DLP Capital has carved out a potentially compelling opportunity. Invest in DLP Capital’s real estate funds to add alternative assets to your portfolio. Featured photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash.

HomeSphere Revolutionizes Home Product Management With AI-driven My HomeSphere App

HomeSphere

HomeSphere, the foremost platform connecting building product manufacturers to mid-market homebuilders, today launched My HomeSphereTM, an industry-changing mobile app and product suite designed to bring transparency and efficiency to home product management. Unlike any other product available today, the app benefits players along the homebuilding and buying supply chain, with distinct value to builders, manufacturers and homeowners. Visit HomeSphere at the NAHB International Builders’ Show in Booth W4051 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. My HomeSphere: Transforming Home Product Information The My HomeSphere product suite empowers builders to use their smartphones to capture essential information about products in new homes while on-site, during installation. The data, encompassing appliances, HVAC systems, windows, doors, smart technology and more, syncs seamlessly with HomeSphere’s platform. HomeSphere’s proprietary AI automatically logs model and serial numbers, registers and tracks warranties in a single platform, and creates a comprehensive digital record of the home — with little effort from the builder or homeowner. “HomeSphere is the only company positioned to change data collection for the industry,” said HomeSphere CEO Greg Schwarzer. “We store the largest volume of U.S. home product information through our strong relationships with thousands of homebuilders and building product manufacturers, and we know what’s broken in the supply chain. My HomeSphere is the technology to fix it.” Changing the Landscape of Home Product Management My HomeSphere has the potential to redefine how building products are sourced, tracked and maintained, ushering in a new digital era for the home construction industry. Key Features of My HomeSphere: Creates a first-of-its-kind digital record of a home's products Enhances transparency within home product management Breaks down longstanding supply-chain silos in residential construction Addressing Industry Challenges Before My HomeSphere, builders installed products in homes without knowing how they performed, product manufacturers lacked clarity on product usage, and homeowners were left to fend for themselves, wading through a drawer full of manuals and registration cards. With My HomeSphere: Builders get a precise inventory of products installed in completed homes, simplifying after-sales issue resolution and increasing customer satisfaction. Homeowners gain “at their fingertips” information about the products in their homes so they can capitalize on valuable extended warranty opportunities, typically unclaimed. Building product manufacturers have — for the first time — clarity into where products are being used and by whom, facilitating customer relationships, mitigating risks and managing issues such as product defects or recalls. The Future of Home Product Management In the short term, My HomeSphere streamlines a fragmented supply chain burdened with outdated tracking methods. In the long term, HomeSphere anticipates further technological advancements to create an expansive network connecting the country’s 140 million homeowners with the manufacturers, contractors and installers that keep their homes running. “Each year in the U.S., millions of new homes are built, with an average of 15 branded products per home,” said HomeSphere Executive Chairman Glenn Renner. “No single company has ever captured this product data, yet it represents unprecedented value to homeowners, builders and product manufacturers. Our mission is to change that with a digital record of the U.S. housing stock accessible to millions of homeowners and the entire universe of builders, contractors and manufacturers. The My HomeSphere technology, paired with our experience, uniquely positioned us to execute this industry-changing vision.” About HomeSphere HomeSphere is a leading data platform connecting the residential construction industry. With 25 years of experience, HomeSphere aggregates data on products installed in over 250,000 homes annually, fostering transparency and efficiency throughout the process, from the product manufacturer to its end user, the homeowner.
