Crowd Street or Self Owned RE

[Cameron Mehta]

Let's say that you were not purchasing properties needing lots of rehab or trying to actively flip. Rather wanting cash flow in good neighborhoods with appreciation and cape rate contraction. 

Why would one purchase commercial or residential real estate when they can invest in private funds provided by Crowd Street, MHP funds, Senior Living Funds, etc, or even a bond portfolio. Let's say these investments yield 9-12% cash flow with around 15-20% ytm/ irr and can be reinvested on average every 4 years. 

If this discussion has been had in length elsewhere, you can post that link here too.

Thanks!!
