Is fractional investing in real estate worth the time?

Fractional investing isn’t a novel invention. Similar models of piecemeal investing across a broad array of real estate markets have existed for decades. Buying fractions of individual properties isn’t new either: Fundrise, which allows small investors to buy shares in bundles of commercial and residential real estate, was founded in 2010. More recently, Lofty AI, Landa, Here, Ark7, HappyNest, RealtyMogul, and DiversyFund all offer roughly the same idea, though they vary in the kinds of real estate offered (commercial, residential, vacation, or a mix), and some have even lower minimum investments than Arrived. Landa, for example, suggests that anyone can get into real estate investing for just $5. Lofty AI sells fractional “property tokens’’ purchased with the USD coin cryptocurrency, and users can get started with around $50. The company pays rental income to investors daily, and serves as a marketplace for home sellers, not just investors. Is this type of investing wasting time? Is this a good entry point? Would this be another way to diversify investments?
