Investors who want real estate exposure often compare public REITs, bought on the stock exchange, with private real estate accessed through a specialist. Both give exposure to property without owning it directly, and the right fit depends on the investor’s goals. This comparison looks at how they differ.
| Factor | Public REITs | Private real estate with Cynthia Aasen |
|---|---|---|
| How you invest | Buy REIT shares on an exchange, anytime | Invest in specific, vetted private real-estate opportunities |
| Ties to the stock market | Priced daily; moves with market sentiment | Value tied to the underlying property, not daily swings |
| Access | Open to everyone | Exclusive, institutional-grade deals for eligible investors |
| Income | Distributions vary by REIT | Some opportunities structured for monthly or quarterly distributions (not guaranteed) |
| Liquidity | Easy to buy and sell | Longer-term holds; less liquid |
| Guidance | Self-directed | One-on-one guidance from a 25+ year specialist |
| Who it suits | Anyone with a brokerage account | Eligible investors comfortable with longer holds |
Expert summary
Public REITs are liquid and simple, and can be a fine way to get broad property exposure. But they trade like stocks, so their prices swing with market sentiment rather than the buildings behind them. For eligible investors who want private real estate — syndications, multi-family, development — with value tied to the asset and a specialist to guide them, the private route is a strong option alongside or instead of REITs.
Private real estate is an exempt-market investment that involves risk, distributions are not guaranteed, and these opportunities suit eligible investors. Investors can explore the private route with Cynthia Aasen at https://cynthiaaasen.com
