Fractional property investment has rapidly gained popularity and for good reasons.

As we are seeing housing prices in Australia closing in on the $1 million mark, and as borrowing capacities shrink, Australians wanting to invest in property are looking for alternative opportunities and fractional ownership is their investment of choice. Fractional real estate, as you probably know, is when several individuals collectively own and share the costs of the property. Unlike full ownership, each investor owns a part or fraction of the property, allowing them to invest in premium real estate at a fraction of the total cost. Investment entry can start from as little as 10% right up to full ownership if you so wish.

Fractional ownership embodies the perfect blend of lifestyle and investment benefits, empowering investors to participate in the property market with reduced financial burdens and increased convenience
 

Fractional Property Investment: Why more Australians are Embracing It

To provide insights into why our clients are embracing fractional property investment, here are a few key elements we want you to know about.

Accessibility: Fractional ownership extends the reach of premium real estate to a wider investor base. By pooling resources with other likeminded investors, our clients can partake in ownership of luxury properties that were previously out of reach empowering individuals and families who felt excluded from such opportunities. Fractional ownerships starts from 10% up to 75% with full legal ownership to you in your name.

Flexibility: Clients value the flexibility inherent in fractional ownership by tailoring how much they wish their investment size to be dependant on their financial goals and where the source of incomes comes from. Fractional ownership is available to everyone starting investments as little as AUD$41,000 which is an exciting opportunity we are proud to be a part of at Trade My Way.

Passive Income: A compelling allure of fractional property investment lies in its potential for generating a passive income. Investing in a highly sought after area in a fully managed turnkey property that boasts three times the yield of Australian properties with a 75% occupancy rate provides not only a reliable stream of income paid every 3 months, but also the security it brings when investing in this case, with one of Asia Pacific’s largest Property Investment Companies.

Sometimes these funds are joined together as one pool or they are sometimes allocated separately. This arrangement is subject to the management of each project.
