The obvious benefit of a Fund is diversification. The investor in a Fund is instantly diversified across multiple assets, rather relying on a single property to appreciate. A Fund portfolio can contain 10 to 20 separate investments spread across a broad geographic area and multiple different types of properties, which can lower risk, compared with just owning a single asset. The other better performing properties mute the effects of a poorly performing deal. Additionally, investing in a Fund can help eliminate many of the stresses and hurdles that you’d find when investing entirely on your own.
