Can I invest $100 dollars in real estate?

Yes, you can absolutely invest with as little as $100 in real estate, though not in the traditional sense of buying a physical property outright. For new investors in Lane County looking to dip their toes into real estate, here are accessible options:

• Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): These are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate across various sectors (residential, commercial, industrial). You can buy shares in REITs on stock exchanges, much like stocks, with relatively low minimums. They often pay high dividends.
• Real Estate Crowdfunding Platforms: Some online platforms allow you to invest small amounts in larger real estate projects (like development deals or income-generating properties) by pooling money with other investors. While minimums vary, some platforms may allow investments as low as $100 or $500.

Real Estate ETFs/Mutual Funds: These funds invest in a portfolio of REITs or real estate-related companies, offering diversification with a low entry point. While direct ownership of a physical property in Lane County for $100 isn’t feasible, these options provide a way to gain exposure to the real estate market without requiring a large capital outlay. Our team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Equinox can guide you on general real estate investment concepts, though for specific investment product advice, a financial advisor is recommended.
