Hint: Millennials know there’s more than one way to skin this proverbial cat. Active real estate investing is one way boomers increase their wealth and diversify their portfolios. They buy a house, rent the property and pocket the profit.

Millennials often take a different approach, however — passive real estate investing. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) own and operate real estate assets that generate income using capital from the investors. Here’s how you can get involved and get a piece of this real estate pie, whether you’re a millennial or not.
As part owner, you collect passive income on your investment through compounding interest from the monthly dividends and overall growth through appreciation of the property. Technology is king in this space and allows you to move like a queen on a chessboard. With DiversyFund, you won’t pay any platform fees because of its vertical integration business model.
Earning a return on investment starts when DiversyFund managers renovate the property. Once the property is stabilized, cash flows are collected and disbursed. The cash flow is then divided up among investors. After 5 years, the property is sold and divided between investors again. You can then choose to reinvest your return on another property or take a full payout.
