Risks of fractional real estate investing and how to reduce them

Vacancy
If the tenant leaves, rent drops. Reduce the risk with long leases, corporate tenants and operators with proven occupancy. Check the project's monthly occupancy history.
Liquidity
Selling before the term depends on buyers being available. CityFraction offers instant sale with a 3% fee as a quick exit, in addition to the secondary market.
Construction
Projects under construction can be delayed. In exchange, you get in at a preferential price. Check the developer, the progress percentage and the published milestones.
Market
Property values can fall. Diversify across cities and types, and keep a horizon of at least five years.
