Diversifying with real estate investments

[Republic Weekly] Republic Insider December 24, 2020 Ending soon: [Janover Ventures]( Diversifying with real estate investments We've talked a lot about [diversifying your startup portfolio]( but we'd be remiss if we didn’t urge you to consider the holistic positioning of your entire portfolio. A thoughtfully diversified portfolio will help your assets withstand disruptions; and different types of assets in different markets will not be affected by the same set of risks. Diversifying effectively means looking outside the public markets and traditional securities investments, just like the world's biggest and most sophisticated institutional investors do. But even within your private investment portfolio, there are various asset classes and diversification strategies. Consider balancing out your startup investment portfolio with [real estate investments](. While venture-style investments in early stage companies have high upside potential, they are also high risk. On the other hand, real estate investments tend to be lower risk, because they are largely backed by hard assets, typically appreciate over time, and can provide a steady stream of income. Even within real estate, various project types have differing risk/reward profiles. For example, new development projects often target higher returns, but come with a greater risk (lots more can go wrong before and during construction than after the building is completed and leased out). On the other hand, existing properties are generally lower risk than development and have lower targeted rates of return as a result. At Republic, we've created a platform where everyone has access to build wealth through private investing—and do it in a smart, diversified way.
