Claim:
A machine-based system comprising: an investment entity to receive investments from investors in exchange for interests in the entity, and for holding real properties on account of the investments received from the investors; a machine-based system to determine which of the real properties fall outside an investment profile because they are not suitable for chosen investment objectives, are outside the expertise of management personnel, or do not offer potential for above-market rates of return at reasonable levels of risk, and are suitable for disposal; a plan for redeeming interests of some but not all investors at a given time, and for selling or leveraging one or more real properties, which have been determined by the machine-based system to fall outside the investment profile and to be suitable for disposal, to generate funds for the redemptions, whereby liquidity is provided for the interests of investors from time to time; and a machine-based system to allocate income and expenses of the real properties, property by property, among, and to track, the basis of the interests held by the investors whose interests are redeemed and the investors whose interests are not redeemed, with respect to the sale or leveraging of the one or more real properties.
