For nearly a decade, Bricksave has led the charge in democratising real estate investment, opening doors that were once only accessible to a privileged few. Known for our strong reputation in property crowdfunding, Bricksave has helped countless investors access high-quality global real estate through accessible entry-level opportunities. However, many of our clients may not yet be aware that our offerings extend far beyond crowdfunding — we also provide the chance for investors to secure whole property investments, unlocking significant opportunities for those looking to take full ownership and control.

Whole property investment offers high-net-worth clients the potential for greater returns, complete control, and the ability to secure rental income from a fully owned asset. By investing in an entire property, investors can benefit from both real estate appreciation and a direct role in asset management. In this article, we’ll explore the top advantages of whole property investment and how Bricksave is positioned to support investors at every level. For those seeking to diversify portfolios on a larger scale, whole property investment is an optimal pathway to building lasting wealth.

1. Full control over your investment

With a whole property purchase, you hold the reins. Unlike crowdfunding investors, who typically need to wait until the designated investment period ends to cash out, whole property investors can choose exactly when they want to sell their property. This flexibility can be crucial, especially in markets where timing is everything.

Whole property ownership also enables you to sell shares of the property you own, providing even more control over your asset. This added level of decision-making allows you to adapt your investment strategy as needed, maximizing your potential return.

2. Long-term wealth building with bigger returns

While any real estate investment has the potential to build wealth over time, whole property ownership amplifies this effect. Larger investments naturally generate larger returns. For example, one of Bricksave’s projects in Detroit, located at 11379 Bramell, was sold with an impressive 63% return on investment (ROI). Imagine the difference between a 63% ROI on a 1% share versus a 63% ROI on a 100% share. Whole property ownership allows you to fully capture the property’s appreciation, enhancing your wealth-building potential significantly.

3. Reduced investment costs for future properties

Owning an entire property through Bricksave means the LLC (Limited Liability Company) created for this property is exclusively yours. This unique structure allows you to add multiple properties under the same LLC, effectively reducing additional costs with each new property purchase. Unlike with individual crowdfunding investments, where each project has its own set of fees, this model allows you to enjoy what is essentially a “bulk discount” on investment expenses. Lower costs translate directly into higher returns, both from ongoing rental income and upon sale of the property.

4. Faster investment timeline

Crowdfunding investments depend on many investors contributing funds, which can mean that it takes some time to reach the funding goal before the investment is finalised. In contrast, whole property investors are only dependent on their own capital, meaning the investment can be secured immediately as soon as funds are released. This agility allows for a quicker entry into the market, which can be particularly advantageous in fast-moving or competitive real estate markets.

5. The best of both worlds with a hands-off approach

Owning a whole property through Bricksave means enjoying the independence of individual ownership along with the convenience of a managed investment. Bricksave handles everything related to logistics and upkeep for you, from legal and insurance requirements to property renovations and reserve costs. Our economies of scale and strategic partnerships help keep these additional expenses lower than if you were to handle the property on your own, ensuring you maximize the property’s profitability while enjoying a hassle-free experience.

Conclusion: crowdfunding vs. whole property ownership – finding your best fit with Bricksave

Crowdfunding is a cornerstone of Bricksave’s mission to democratize real estate investment, allowing anyone to step into the world of real estate regardless of their budget. However, for those looking to maximize returns, whole property ownership offers distinct advantages that simply can’t be matched.

With Bricksave, whole property ownership is designed to combine the convenience of our hands-free approach with the financial benefits of full property ownership. Our managed services make it easy, so you can focus on building a robust, diversified portfolio that meets your financial goals.
