invest with Real estate group Vs. Self Owned

[Sam Ng]

I have couple of local real estate investment group approach me for participation in their projects (shops with apt rental on top floors kind of model , multifamily,..). Estimation is about 12% yearly return for 5 years . Property disposition after 5 years with capital return + 25% returns. 20K minimum to participate.This seems like pretty much similar to crowdfund (fundrise) except that this is in around my local real estate market.

Whereas the other option I have is consider buy and manage a separate rental on my own name. I already own couple of rentals in the area.

I am planning to invest like $150K but unable to makeup mind. Going with investment group takes out the headache of managing but it increases financial risks/ gives control over finances.

unable to decide on this. any experiences from people on the forum on this ? pls share your opinion.
