Learn how Realbricks enables investors to purchase ownership interests in entities that own single-family rental homes, how the investment process works, what investors may receive, and the risks to consider.
Real estate has historically been an asset class that investors have used as part of a broader investment strategy. A popular form of real estate investment is renting the property to tenants.. Traditional ownership of rental property often requires purchasing an entire property, arranging financing, managing operations, and handling all responsibilities associated with being a landlord. .
Realbricks reduces these traditional barriers to accessing real estate investment. Realbricks provides a platform that allows investors to purchase ownership interests in a company that owns individual single-family rental homes. Through this structure, investors may participate in a specific property investment without purchasing the entire home or managing the property directly. .
This guide explains how fractional real estate investing with Realbricks works, what investors own, how potential distributions are determined, and the risks and limitations associated with these investments.
Our mission is to help more people participate in real estate investing by providing transparent, accessible investment opportunities designed to support long-term financial goals. Through the Realbricks platform, investors are able to access fractional ownership opportunities involving single-family rental properties.The platform is led by Founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Gerardi, alongside a team dedicated to optimizing technology, real estate operations, and investor experience.
Securities offered through the platform are held through a Series LLC that owns the property. Terra Mint Group Corp. provides the property management. Broker-dealer services are provided by Dalmore Group, LLC, a registered broker-dealer. Investor funds are held in escrow through a third-party escrow provider during the investment process. .
Fractional real estate investing allows multiple investors to purchase ownership interests connected to a single property rather than purchasing the entire property individually.
When Realbricks acquires a home, that property is placed into its own separate legal entity. The investment opportunity for that property is then divided into ownership interests, or shares, priced at $10 per share.
When you invest, you are purchasing these shares in the entity that owns the property. You do not directly own the home, your name is not placed on the property title, and you do not have direct ownership of the physical real estate. Instead, you own an interest in the legal entity that owns that specific property, along with other investors who purchase interests in the same series.
This is what "fractional" means: many investors each own a fraction of the total interest in the property. The minimum investment amount is $100, subject to the terms of each offering. Investors should review the offering documents for each property before making an investment decision.
Getting started follows a straightforward path:
Investors acquire ownership interests in a company that owns real estate. Realbricks manages property acquisition, tenant placement, and ongoing property management services.
If a property is rented and generates net operating income from the lease, investors may receive distributions based on the terms of that applicable offering. Distributions are not guaranteed and depend on factors such as whether the property is leased, rental income collected, operating expenses, reserves, and other property-level expenses. .
For properties that are newly constructed or not yet leased, rental income is not generated until a tenant occupies the property and rent payments begin.
Real estate should be understood as an investment with a long time horizon that will include fluctuations in property values over time.The value of a property may increase or decrease over time based on factors such as local market conditions, property condition, operating performance, interest rates, economic conditions, and other variables. Any potential increase in property value is not guaranteed and would generally only be realized if the property is sold or through another approved liquidity event.
Real estate investments involve risks, and fractional real estate investments with Realbricks are no exception. Investors should carefully consider these risks before investing.
Fractional real estate investments are intended to be long-term investments. By way of example, traditional real estate investments are held for 5+ years. They are considered illiquid, meaning there is currently no public market where investors can sell their interests on demand.
Realbricks is exploring opportunities to provide a secondary marketplace in the future where investors could potentially list shares for sale. However, no secondary market currently exists, , there is no guarantee that one will be established, and there is no assurance that an investor would be able to sell shares if a secondary market becomes available.. Investors should consider whether they can hold an investment for an extended period and whether they may need access to those funds before investing.
Distributions are not guaranteed.Any projected distributions are estimates based on assumptions regarding factors such as rental income, expenses, occupancy, and property operations. Actual results may differ from projections.
Real estate values fluctuate. A property's market value may be affected by local conditions, broader economic factors, changes in interest rates, supply and demand, and other circumstances.

Neptune does not have a public trading market for its Series Interests. While it intends to seek a quotation on PPEX, an alternative trading system (ATS) operated by North Capital Investment Technology, Inc. (“PPEX”) with a view to providing our holders of Series Interests with potential liquidity in the form of a secondary market for their investment in our Series Interests. However, there can be no guarantee that a secondary market may develop, or if it does, as to the volume or pricing with respect to any secondary trading that might develop. The PPEX does not employ market makers to provide liquidity, unlike national securities exchanges. Until Neptune’s Series Interests are listed, if ever, you may not sell the company’s Series Interests. Therefore, it may be difficult for you to sell Neptune’s Series Interests at the time you wish to do so, if you are able to sell them at all. If you are able to sell your Series Interests, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to their public offering price. Because of the illiquid nature of our Series Interests, you should purchase Neptune’s Series Interests only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.
