Three Distinct Benefits of Investing in a Real Estate Income Funds Diversification The ability to diversify in real estate funds has attracted conservative investors that want to avoid the concentra- tion risk that often accompa- nies purchasing one piece of real estate. Typically, real es- tate investing requires a large down payment in order to obtain a loan with reasonable terms, tying up a significant portion of investors’ wealth in a single asset. Funds allow an investor to often place a small- er amount of cash into a highly diversified portfolio, therefore mitigating risk through diver- sification. Not only do funds allow investors to diversify in different pieces of real estate all over the country but inves- tors can also diversify their investment by asset type and combined acquisition sources total $14,150,000. The financ - ing was arranged through Nick Saenz of Penn Community Bank. “Eastern Union attained at - tractive bank financing for this acquisition for two primary reasons,” said Tropp. “First, the sponsor brought a strong local market presence and a solid business plan to the table. And second, our company has de- veloped excellent relationships with scores of the country’s top lenders, and we leveraged these relationships to secure the most favorable terms possible.”
tenants. Funds may hold mul- tifamily apartments, net lease commercial assets, medical, industrial, etc. Asset types can have varying market cycles. Diversifying one’s investment across asset types and geogra- phy can potentially insulate their investment from market volatility. *Diversification does not guarantee profits or protect against losses. Depreciation An additional benefit to real estate income funds is the potential for depreciation. Many real estate income funds allow investors to depreciate their basis in the fund. The non-cash expense lowers the taxable income incurred from fund’s distributions. This may hold significant benefits for investors in high tax states such as California and New York. Investors should speak to their CPA to determine their own potential tax efficiencies from investing in real estate income funds. Able to Optimize Both Inflationary and DeflationaryMarket Cycles Finally, the ability for funds to continue to purchase real estate over time allows inves- tors to optimize both inflation - ary and deflationary market cycles. An inflationary market will theoretically drive up the value of the fund. In a defla - tionary cycle, the fund may continue acquiring assets, cost dollar averaging as the market retreats. Funds have the flex - ibility to pick up these assets at a discount. Cap rates often expand in a deflationary mar - ket, which will allow investors The portfolio is situated with- in an area considered to be Philadelphia’s most actively developed big-box retail/indus- trial corridor -- and a prime location for redevelopment.

A Real Estate Income Fund is a specific subset of funds that is focused exclusively on investing in potentially income-generating real estate. Real estate income funds pro- vide another entry point for those looking to invest in large commercial or multifamily real estate portfolios. Real Estate Income Funds are particularly appealing to retail investors who want to own institutional quality real estate that would normally be out of reach for them. A Real Estate Income Fund pools capital from many investors, and then the fund’s sponsor oversees all the fund’s activities, including perform- ing due diligence, underwrit- ing, and propertymanagement. Investing in a Real Estate Income Fund is a great way to potentially generate passive income, gain access to institu- tional level assets, and avoid the responsibilities of direct ownership.
