How Real Bricks Makes Real Estate Investment Simple and Accessible - Episode 183 (Classic Episode)

In today's classic episode, I talk with Chris Gerardi, Founder and CEO of Realbricks, about a different way to think about real estate investing. Instead of saving up for a huge down payment or becoming a landlord, Realbricks allows eligible investors to purchase fractional shares tied to individual rental properties starting with as little as $100. Chris explains how fractional real estate investing works, how investors may receive rental income distributions, and how Realbricks handles the property management side so investors do not have to deal with tenants, repairs, or late-night landlord problems. We also talk about the risks, the importance of starting small, and why real estate can be one way to diversify your investment portfolio. If you have ever wanted to invest in real estate but felt like it was out of reach, this conversation is a helpful place to start.
