KGCI: Real Estate on Air - How to Invest in Real Estate with as Little as $100
Episode Date: October 2, 2025Real estate crowdfunding platforms allow you to pool your money with other investors to buy a share of a larger property, such as an apartment building, commercial property, or a single-famil...y home. Many of these platforms have low minimum investment requirements, sometimes as little as $10 to $100.How it Works: The platform vets, acquires, and manages the property. You invest a small amount to own a fraction of it and earn a share of the rental income or profits when the property is sold.Examples: Platforms like Fundrise and Arrived offer low entry points, making them accessible to a wide range of investors.Risks: While a great way to start, these investments are typically less liquid than stocks, meaning it can be harder to sell your shares quickly if you need to access your money.Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) 🏢A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate. Think of it like a mutual fund for real estate. By law, REITs must pay out at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends.How it Works: You can buy shares of a publicly traded REIT through a standard brokerage account, just like you would with any other stock. This allows you to invest in a diversified portfolio of properties (like shopping malls, office buildings, or hotels) without the hassle of being a landlord.Examples: You can buy shares of well-known REITs for as little as the cost of one share, which is often less than $100. Many of these REITs are traded on major stock exchanges.Benefits: REITs are highly liquid, and many offer a steady stream of income through dividends, making them a popular choice for passive investors.

Welcome to go-gopreneur, where Go-Go Bethke, your host, interviews badass rock star entrepreneurs of the world,
figuring out who they are, how they got to where they're at, and the lessons they learned along the way,
so you can learn those lessons and turn it into money. Let's go get them.
Taylor, thank you so much for your time today.
Sure.
Let's get started. Let's figure out what is fractional real estate.
How did you come into this side of the world?
Yeah, so I actually met founder of Realbricks.com.
I took a job with them about about two months ago.
And I honestly, I had never heard of fractional real estate before.
It's a probably like most people.
But it's a fascinating concept where basically, if you guys are familiar with Robin Hood,
people go on, you know, you used to have to just buy stocks at their full price.
And it left a lot of people, you know, out of the market and unavailable to purchase these
stocks of their super high priced, right?
And so what Robin Hood did was they fractionalized stocks and made it easy so that if you want to invest five bucks, 10 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever you wanted, you can buy fractions of those stocks.
So similar concept, fractionalized real estate is just as you would imagine.
You can basically, instead of having to buy a full investment property or a home just yourself, you can buy fractions of the home.
So 1%, 5%, 10%, you know, or even $100 worth.
And so basically, you know, fractional real estate is not an entirely new concept.
I know, you know, traditionally in the real estate world, like you'd find people that have,
you know, you want to say, hey, let me go find five people that want to go in this deal with me.
And then we can figure out, you know, okay, we'll pull the money together.
We'll purchase the investment and then we're all in it together, right?
Problem with some of those is that like one, finding some of the investors to go in on some of these deals with are tough to find sometimes.
It can get a little messy too in terms of, you know, like, okay, who's putting in what?
If you've got one person putting in 50%, one person putting in 30%, you know, doing all that.
And then also the biggest piece, which I think kills most of those like private deals are the fact that like a lot of people have different exit strategies and timelines for their investment.
Right. So like some people would say, great, I'll put in 20K and I want to have my money out in three years, but someone else may put in 100K and want to hold it till it sells.
Like a lot of these traditional like fractional or like crowdfunded real estate investments, they take a, you know, the only exit that you really have is either to find someone that will either purchase your shares out of you, which is tough to do.
or you have to sell the property.
And a lot of times getting, you know, five to ten people on the same page of when that happens.
It's really tough to do.
So fractional real estate is a pretty cool, pretty cool way for, you know, masses of people
to jump in at any, any price point that they want and then let platforms like Real Bricks
handle everything else so that you can say, hey, I want my money in at this point.
You know, I've got, let's say, a thousand bucks to invest.
You can buy and hold it for as long as you want.
And then when you're ready to exit, you know, fractional real estate and fractional real estate,
platforms like real bricks allow you to exit on your own time versus you know waiting for everyone else so it's a
it's not a totally new model but i don't think a lot of people are aware that exists in the real estate
space which i think is really cool yeah so you already mentioned the website real breaks how did it come
about like so so our founder yeah i think he you know in terms of why it was found why why
he decided to start this platform was you know i think you know looking at primarily like a lot of
millennials or even just most Americans, they've been pretty much priced out of the real estate market,
right? Like if you wanted to buy an investment property, you know, unless you've got to spare
$60,000 laying around, it's really tough for someone to break into this market. Right. So
the highest performing asset class and arguably history is completely out of reach for most Americans.
And that that sucks, right? Most of them, most people play in the SP 500 invest a little bit when they
can in the stock market, which is a great way to build wealth. But, you know, real estate, as you know,
obviously is like one of the best ways to build wealth. But for most Americans, that's not a
feasible thing. So our founder kind of looked at this and said, hey, there's got to be another way around
this. And so he went through a super long, you know, tech development process to be able to do this,
but also like a legal process, right? Because the SEC has to come in and approve all these things
so that you can basically the general public can buy and sell shares of real estate. He went under this
kind of three year journey of figuring out how to solve this complex puzzle to be able to offer people
general, the general public real estate investments at a fraction of the cost with, you know,
without having to deal with, you know, finding the right deals, going to the property, you know,
purchasing it outright, finding tenants, managing the tenants, the maintenance, the repairs,
the taxes, all of the things that come with like kind of the burden of investment properties,
he really wanted to create a really simple way for everyday Americans to just show up,
be able to pick the properties that they want to invest in and invest with the swipe of a finger
or a clickable button.
And so, you know, his kind of dream over the last three years has become a reality.
And now that real bricks exist because he wants to help serve, you know, the most of the
general public that have never been able to access before.
So the mission really, when they boil it down to it's democratization of real estate for
everyone, right?
And so I think it's a pretty cool.
Again, it's a reason why I kind of came over to this because I think it's really cool
because I know a lot of people that are still waiting by their first home or want to buy
an investment property and have never been able to until now, until real bricks existed.
So it's a pretty cool mission and can help a lot of people start building wealth or diversifying their portfolios away from just the stock market.
Because as you know, stock market, you know, while it's great, it can have really great days.
It can also have really, really bad days.
And it's a great, you know, a great way to diversify kind of the mix of things that you're looking to get into.
And yeah, just give people like access to an asset class that has been pretty unattainable for years.
So what money are we talking?
Are we talking thousands of dollars you need to have in order to invest or where can someone start?
Yeah. So what's cool to Real Bricks is you can get started with as little as $100. So shares are,
I think they're $10 a share and the minimum investments, $100. So, you know, I think a lot of
people have probably come across the ads like, hey, are you accredited investor? Then great,
you can invest in these commercial deals, right? And like most people are not accredited investors or
have a net worth of a million dollars. So what's really cool is, yeah, Real Bricks, you go to realbricks.com or
download the app.
you like basically can sign up in two minutes. I think we clocked it. That's what it takes. And then,
you know, you basically browse the marketplace for some of the investment property you want to look at.
And then you can buy shares for as little as $100. And then if you're looking to invest more and you're maybe more of a season real estate investor or you've just got more capital to play with, you can invest. I think it's up to 9.8% is technically what the SEC allows for a fractional real estate model. So, you know, anywhere between $100 and up to like $40,000, you choose. Like basically it's up to you. You can put it on a recurring schedule. So if you want to invest $100.
a month, you know, $5,000 a month or, you know, $40,000 one time.
That's the cool part about Robrex is the choice is up to you, how you want to end up.
So let me understand this.
So you said 9.8% is that 9.8% of the total value of a specific property?
So you cannot own more than almost 10% as an individual in that specific property.
Exactly.
But you can own 9.8% up to 9.8% in 10 different properties.
You just cannot own all in one.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So you can, you can own 9%.
9.8% of all the properties on the platform if you wanted to. I mean, it's and it's a great
great diversification tactic for let's say like real estate investors that already have, you know,
rental properties that are cash flowing in their own zip code, but let's say they want to break out
into other markets. Let's say the Midwest or something like that. Like it's a really easy way without
you having to go find the deals, you know, source, manage tenants, do all of those things. You can then
go find these other markets, you know, invest whatever, you know, cash that you want into that.
And yeah, there's no limit on the amount of properties you can.
invest in. But the reason for the 9.8% cap on that is actually from the SEC to protect investors so that,
you know, someone can't come in and snatch up 90% of the shares, right? And then they're a majority
owner of this. It's it's actually, then the little guys out again. Yeah, exactly. That's a let's force a
sale like, wait, I just got in last month, you know, so, so it's there's a reason for it. I know it sounds like,
why 9.8% but that's that's what the SEC has said and kind of kept it as a cap. But the cool part is,
yeah, you can you can do it as many properties as you want. So it's, it is really. And
list that you can do or you know the barrier to entry is so small because you can get started
with a hundred bucks if you're brand new to investing and the age limit is 18 correct yeah and i think
it's yeah don't quote me on this but i think any u.s citizen or u.s resident with a u.s. bank account
can invest so it's pretty much open to to anyone that wants to get into it which is which is cool
i remember i remember telling the boys oh sorry no no i was just going this is probably where you're
going with it too but i mean imagine being like 20 years old and be like hey guess what i'm a landlord
Real estate. Yeah. I was telling my voice because my oldest is just turned 17. So he has one more year before he can invest.
He's been killing me to open an account for him so he can invest into stacks. And for the longest time, I couldn't figure it out. And now there's an app. So he can be a minor with the parents approval and we opened his account and all that. But when Rio Briggs came about and I was telling him about that, he's like, no way, I can own real estate with a hundred bucks. And I'm like, yes. Right. So it's so exciting. Like I just imagine like, imagine if we knew what,
Like if I knew what I know today, right?
If I knew that when I was 17 and like cannot wait to be 18 so I can invest into real estate, right?
Like God only knows where we would be today.
So then let's say they go online, they create their account.
I'm assuming they hook it up to their bank account right there in the app, right?
And then you just go and start looking at what's on the market and meaning what's on the platform,
meaning that these are properties that Rio Brex already found and research and made sure that the numbers are the math.
is mapping, right? And then they can choose to invest right there. Is there an app too or do you
have to do this online? Yeah, there's an app you can download iOS, Android, whichever you have.
And yeah, it's kind of cool. So I'll touch on something here. So like the way, because we get
a lot of questions and like, okay, I get the model, but like how I don't understand how like Real
Brooks actually works in the background. So what Real Brooks is doing is basically we we've got a team of
of, you know, really, really seasoned real estate professionals that have hundreds and hundreds
of years of experience combined, right? And millions and millions of dollars worth of the deals that
they've done. And they're the ones kind of looking out and vetting, you know, kind of finding the deals,
right? The ones that are prime and ripe for investment, they go, what Rubik says, they go purchase
those properties with cash. So, you know, other other companies maybe, you know, like maybe some
other crowdfunding places will, we'll purchase it with a mortgage, something like that. We purchase it
outright with cash. We source the tenants, manage them, handle all of the, all of the property
management and everything. So like you as an investor, the burden,
of that is not on you, right? So all you really do is once your account's created, and again,
like I said, it takes two minutes. You connect your bank account, you know, you upload an ID to prove
that you're a real person. And then you can start investing in these. And like it's, it's as close
to passive investing as you can get without, you know, being, because that word's thrown around all
the time. I'm sure you know in the space. Like, oh, it's, it's passive. But like, it's as close as you
can get to basically be in like, hey, there's a cash flowing single family rental that I want to
invest in, let's say, five grand. You invest not money. All of the, the, the, the,
legwork that's done for like, you know, cash flowing rental properties is done for you by the
real bricks platform. They're all purchased cash. So you basically get to earn rental income,
you know, on your investment. So, you know, I'll give you an example. One of our properties,
I think the stag has a projected APY, like a dividend of 6% a year. So, you know, if you invested 10
grand, right, you'd be getting paid $600 a month over the course of the year. So quarterly,
you get your interest payments, right? So it's a great way to start building wealth. You can
either reinvest it back in the property. You can take it out and keep it yourself.
And then the other cool piece is that like that's that's one income stream that you're going to capitalize on there.
It's the rental income.
But the second is you buy and hold for the long term.
Like, you know, as these properties start to appreciate, that's the real draw for real estate.
People want to buy and hold and hang on to these things.
And so I'll give you an example, a property of the Blanton that we had.
We, we purchased it nine months ago.
I think it's a really cool condo downtown Omaha, you know, right, right in the heart of it.
And I think we purchased it for like 380.
We got the comps back.
nine months later, it's already sitting at $427,000, right?
So that's what, $47,000 in appreciation just in the last nine months,
which I think is like 12% return.
So when you have your 6% returns on the rental income plus, you know,
if you wait a year and again, this is going to vary depending on your investment,
but you factor that with the home value appreciation, you really start to see over
time how your investments can start to grow and, you know.
So does the equity get paid out yearly to somehow, like do they refinance on these
properties or or do you only actually truly see the equity value when the property gets sold?
Yeah. So that's a great question. So so the way you realize the property, basically capitalize on
the property value appreciation is whenever you're ready to sell, you are basically going to list
your shares on the secondary marketplace. So you have what's called the primary marketplaces,
which is where all the new homes, all these new properties are coming in, you can choose to invest in.
Once that property is fully funded at 100%, right, like we've got all of the equity built in it,
right it's it's going you're earning your income uh your rental income right let's say two years from
now you say okay this property's appreciated by 18 percent i want to cash out basically just go list your
shares on the secondary marketplace you can set it at a price we typically recommend just the
how much the home is appreciated but it's up to you it's kind of like a bidding system right so then
new users can come in and say oh wow look how much this property is appreciated 18 percent
let me go buy i want to buy your shares that you're selling out on this and so it's basically yeah
people are buying your shares as you're ready to get out and as new investors come in,
they can purchase the shares from you.
And then just like you mentioned at the beginning, that is the other way that you can exit.
It's like after, I think we have a target hold of like five to seven years roughly.
But when Realbrook says, okay, hey, awesome, we've kind of hit a plateau.
Let's let's go ahead and sell.
And all users will get cashed out, you know, for their investment.
So kind of three ways.
Yeah.
So that was my next question.
So let's say that you don't need to sell and you just hold your money in that.
And then we go over exists to sell that property.
let's say five years later, right? But let's say that 400,000 property now is worth 500,000,
right? That what happens with that 100,000? So is the profit gets split down between how many
owners there are at the time? Yeah. So if you're one, let's say, let's say you're a 1% owner in,
you know, the stat, one of our properties, right? And let's say it's appreciated a hundred thousand
dollars. You would basically earn one percent of that hundred thousand dollars, which is what,
a grand, right? So it's how whatever the fractional stake that you own,
when the property does get sold is the fractional stake that you get back out.
So yeah.
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah.
And if the, so I know the investing is ready right now is the secondary market is ready to.
So if someone let's invest in, I don't know, something happens and they have to touch their money,
then need their money back.
Is that option is available now or not yet?
Yeah. So, so we're anticipating us to be ready in Q4 of this year.
So literally in the next 90 days.
So how it works basically is like when you invest in these properties, right, as as new users
and new investors come in and purchase up.
all these shares. Once, once all of the available shares have been purchased, so the house is fully
funded is what we call it, then moves to the secondary marketplace. So you have the option to sell them
immediately if you want or hang on to it for a while. So, so basically what we're targeting is like
basically, if you get in, let's say in September, you know, we're looking at, again, as we get
more properties, the time to fully funded will start to shrink. But, you know, we're looking at a three
month timeframe right now. So let's say you buy in September by, you know, December, January, like you
have the ability to exit if you wanted to. But it's tough to give a day range because it just
depends how quickly those properties sell out or if it's a property that not maybe as many
people are interested in, but there's still some time to go. It's all dependent on that.
So that's how we determine when a property moves to the secondary marketplace.
Are you enjoying the gogopreneur podcast? Subscribe to my channel for more. Thank you.
And you mentioned Omaha. So why why Omaha? Yeah. Omaha is it's funny. It's like when you
mentioned this to people who are like, Omaha, like, what the Midwest? What's, what's going on to
Midwest? But if you follow any real estate investment circles, like the Midwest is kind of
quietly booming right now. So our team specifically picked, you know, the initial batch of
properties in Omaha because there's three reasons, basically, right? So we look at historic property
values and just see kind of how they've grown over time. And so we looked at, we looked at comps in
the Omaha market. And Omaha has seen a 9.8% year-over-year growth over the last five years and is still
continuing to climb. So so it's it's it's it's shown really great appreciation all of the
comps in that area. So we looked at that and said, hey, okay, this is a great market to invest in.
And the average home value is still relatively low compared to the rest of the nation.
I think it's like a $287,000. So well below the national island, but still climbing at a great
clip. So so that's great. So so we look at historic property values. Population growth.
Population growth is another one that we look at. So are people moving there and and continuing to
move? So Omaha has grown three percent year over year.
And then I think it's been like 12% in the last 10 years.
So like people are moving to Omaha.
I mean, I don't know if you ever been there.
I was actually just there a couple months ago.
But the construction in that town is insane because so many people are leaving these massive metropolitan areas and wanting land, wanting to, you know, have some more space and things like that.
So, so, you know, people are moving to Omaha.
The airport's got, you know, a whole new like under construction.
Everything's under construction, which is a good sign for, you know, property values as people continue to move there.
So it's got really strong population.
growth. And then from a demographics perspective, that's the third thing that we look at. So
Omaha's got a really stable workforce. A lot of people have like the unemployment rate is super
low. And coupled with that, the eviction rates are super low. So basically what it means is
people have jobs. They can actually afford the rent and they stay paying rent, which is, you know,
really important for these investment properties. So those are the those are kind of the three things that
we look for in that. And that's what's made, made Omaha and some of, you know, even like I mentioned
earlier. Some of our property comps have have really grown in the last nine months and and,
and, you know, are continuing to rise. And so, um, yeah, Omaha is a quietly booming market.
And so that's, that's, that's kind of why we chose for our initial six properties, uh, where we
want to go. And it's been, it's been great so far. So that's so are they all these properties
long term rentals? Yes, uh, single family long term rentals. Now, you know, again, because we're
such a new platform, you know, we're, we're starting small and then getting it to expand. So like,
there's, there's plans. I was looking at the roadmap the other day. We've got plans to,
to expand into multifamily commercial and even land.
Right. So like the cool thing about the real bricks platform is that we're not,
we're not relegated to just one type of asset.
We can expand this into pretty much anything.
Right. So any type of real estate asset, like we're going to have the ability to
fractionalize and offer to our to our investors. So, you know, again, as, as, as we start
getting more properties in and start expanding and growing like we already are, like you're
going to start seeing a lot more, a lot more deals pop up, you know, outside of just like
long term single family rentals. But that's what we have for right now.
But yeah, stay tuned.
You know, if you guys are listening, you're interested in those things like those are going
to be coming quickly.
But that's the cool thing about the real brick platform.
And the way the way I found or built it is it's we can expand into pretty much any any
asset class in real estate that we want.
And even even outside of real estate, which is really cool.
Like you want to talk about being able to fractionalize, you know, like art.
You want to fractionize like classic cards like any, any sort of asset class that has a
store of value that appreciates over time.
Real Brits.
De Mona Lisa.
Yes.
Exactly.
You're going to buy an.
Yeah, I have I own $10 of the Mona Lisa. How cool is that, right? So like over time, like as as Real Bricks really starts to grow and, you know, we start to really double down and scale, right? Like a lot of those investment opportunities are going to be open to these new investors, which which is really cool. That's why I'm so excited about it because, yeah, the the potential is limitless with this platform.
That's amazing. So we do a lot of real estate investing recently, right? Because through the years, when you make money, you kind of have to do something with it, right?
it's one of the safest way of investing and with all the tax write-ups and all that.
So like when we buy real estate, we do cost segregation on it so then we can use it against
our taxable income reduction.
How does that work when you buy fractionalized real estate?
Like, can you use any of that against your taxable income that you're?
Do you know or do you not know the answer to my question?
Yeah, no, that's a great question.
It's something I've been talking with our founder about to see how we can pass that,
that that kind of tax benefit onto the user. So right now the answer is no. But I see and I've talked
with a bunch of investors that are like, they're like, man, if I can use this as a write off,
like, hey, I have, you know, 10% or 9.8% of chairs in this. Like, let me, let me use this as a
deduction. Like we see the benefit. We're trying to figure out how we can we can pass those
tax benefits along. So the short answer is no, not right now, but we're working on it.
We got it. We want to do that because, yeah, it's a huge, another huge benefit of real estate.
that thing totally get it yeah because we did a syndication you were talking about how not having to be
involved right so a couple years ago we were our heads were spinning right and thankfully we had money
coming from every direction and we like we don't have time to figure out what to do with that
we don't have time to find a good deal we don't want to deal with it we don't want to have to go
to the financing we don't want to we just don't want to do any of it can I just hand some money to
someone right and then they deal with all that so we did a syndication and um syndications are kind
of good right you don't have to do the research you give it
a term five years later they give it back to you hopefully it makes your money pays your dividends
quarterly or monthly just depending well with syndications right you have to pay in many of the
syndications are a minimum of 50 000 if not a minimum of 100 000 and you have to be an accredited
investor in order to qualify to even be able to invest right so that's like a whole different cup of
tea but then i think if i remember correctly through syndications you get a k-1 in the end of the
which does benefit your taxable income deduction again.
So if someone really, I can see this not being a huge need, right,
the income tax deduction, not being a huge need if you're really only just starting out
and doing $100 here and $500 there.
But if we really want people, but then again, you might be in the situation
where if this becomes an opportunity where you can use it as a taxable tax or reducing your
taxable income with it, then again, you're going to get the situation.
the big investors buying up the big chunks and then the everyday purse is going to be cut out.
Yeah, for sure.
No, we see the value in it.
And I think, you know, it's just that because because the space is so heavily regulated,
we have to make sure like, okay, how every step?
Every step.
So we absolutely plan to move in that direction because, yeah, we know that, yeah, those
accredited investors, large-scale investors, that's a huge benefit for them.
And obviously, you know, the cool part is, you know, our platform is geared towards
accredited investors and kind of like the newbie investors or maybe the smaller scale investors.
But, you know, we offer, you know, basically in the platform, what's going to be really cool is
if you're an accredited investor, we have an auto accredited, accreditor investor check, which,
you know, in the future, when we start expanding some of these pieces, like that's where I
think some of those tax benefits, but also access to those types of, those types of accredited
investor deals that only those people are allowed to invest in.
Like, platform will basically automatically divert you which way you're at.
So like the tech is built there.
We just we just got to figure out, you know, hey, how can we pass along some of those tax benefits?
But it's definitely on a roadmap and we want to get there for sure.
Oh, I love it.
So we are ready to do today, right?
You just go to real bricks.com, create your account, hook up your bank account, start investing whenever you feel comfortable with as little as $100 per transaction, but not over to 9.8% of the total value of each property.
And as soon as the secondary market is ready, which is going to be.
hopefully in the third quarter of,
four quarter actually, sorry, the fourth quarter of 2024
or whenever the first property hits 100%
like fully funded, fully invested.
I actually didn't know that all of these properties are paid cash.
I kind of like that.
Yeah, yeah, it's great.
I mean, it allows us to provide a better return, right,
without having to use debt for it.
And the security and the security of it, right,
of not having to worry about foreclosure and those kind of things.
100%.
Yeah, but yeah, you nailed it. Exactly. Like we've got, like I said, we've got an app, iOS, Android. So just search Real Bricks in the app store if you're there. The app is super slick. It's awesome. It's so easy. Like, you know, literally a couple taps of the button. You're onboarded and then you're ready to invest. And then we also have desktop version two, web portal if you want to do that.
But yeah, count sign up takes literally two, three minutes tops. And then yeah, I just encourage everyone. Just go check it out. Go to Real Bricks.com. You don't have to invest today. But go check it out. Sign up for free count. Again, it takes a little bit. And then just.
just go through and look at some of the properties and, you know, kind of with what we've talked about
today in mind, like think about, you know, your investment mix. If you are the type of person that's
maybe putting $100 every paycheck in the SP 500, you know, maybe it's maybe this is something where
you say, hey, you know, I actually, let's diversify a little bit. Let's go into real estate, you know,
or if you're someone that's always wanted to get into real estate and have been fascinated by it,
you know, like this is a great opportunity for you to, you know, start investing in properties,
but also learn along the way, right? We've got a ton of learning resources, you know,
ways that we're trying to help build and educate these kind of newer real estate investors
to how, how real estate can really work to grow your wealth.
Because I looked at a study, you know, the hundred of the world's wealthiest people,
I think a third of their portfolios are made of real estate and everything else is a ton of mix of
whatever.
But like, I don't think it's a secret to people, but it's crazy when you put it in that
perspective, like, you know, the richest people invest in real estate and they make a lot of money
doing it.
And so it's cool finally that there's a way for everyone.
to get a piece of the pie and participate in it.
Yeah. And I think it's the hardest part initially to start, right?
It's like when that is your only 50, well, first of all, if you at least have $50,000, right?
But if that is your only $50,000 you have, it's so hard and so scary, right, to take the risk
to put it all in into one basket, right?
To put it as down payment is.
And I hope that the ACUDUD doesn't go out or hope that the renter is not going to ruin the property
or hope that they're going to make their monthly payment because then you need to make the
mortgage payment, right? So it's risky.
And then, but I feel like to finally be able, but everyone has that eager to like, but I want to start.
I want to start somewhere, right? And so if you can start with as little as $100, like, well,
if I lose this $100, it's 100 bucks, you know what I mean? It's not $50,000 and that's all the
money than I have, right? So I think it's, I think that if nothing else, this should make everyone
want to take action on learning how to invest into real estate. And then, you know, you start making
money and then you have more to invest and eventually you can own a property all by yourself.
You know, you go out in the big world and make your down payment and rent it out and do all
the work.
But in the meantime, Rio Bricks can do that for us.
You mentioned it like I was on the phone with one of our investors.
He was new.
He's been wanting to get into real estate forever.
And he had a quote that I thought was perfect.
He was like, he's like, so you can get started with 100 bucks.
And he's like, he said, there's no excuse then for people to not be investing in real estate.
Everyone's got $100.
We've all gotten Uber Eats for our family or our friends or something like that.
87 bucks, 90 bucks or whatever, something like that.
Like that's the cool part about this is that like, yeah, you know, if it's been a dream of
years, like the opportunity you finally have it to be able to just even just dip your toes in
the water.
And that's what we encourage a lot of new investors to do.
Just come check it out.
See if it's the right fit for you.
Obviously, you know, like if it's not totally fine.
But I think there's a lot of people that have just been trying to find some way to break into
the market.
Now there's finally a solution for it, which I think.
Realbrex does an amazing job of providing that solution for people.
That's awesome.
So tell me, how about your social handle?
So if someone wants to check out, not just going to the website, but kind of senior, like,
I speak social language, right?
Like, if I'm checking out any company and any brand or any product or any service,
like I'm going to their Instagram, right?
Like, that's the language I speak.
So what is the best way for someone?
If they want to get to the end of your social media, Real Bricks is where to find you.
Yeah, so Instagram or at Real Bricks app.
So Real Bricks, R-E-A-L, B-R-I-C-K-S, and then APP, so app at the end.
And give us, give us some slack.
We just started our social channels.
We're brand new company, right?
So like, but there's great, there's great content on there.
There's great tips, you know, in terms of like breaking down different investment models,
you know, property spotlights.
If you're not on the app, you know, just we do, we post about twice weekly there.
So just keeping in the loop where all that stuff's at.
We're also on LinkedIn, Facebook.
If you just search Real Bricks, you'll find us on there.
And then, you know, obviously on Twitter as well.
But those are, I would say Instagram and LinkedIn are probably our primary ones and probably
that have the most, you know, value-led content.
So, you know, you guys can, anyone that's interested can, yeah, see the properties that
we have, just kind of learn about, you know, this whole crazy world if this is new to you around
it.
So, yeah, that's basically it.
