Let's buy a mansion

X (Twitter) news is becoming a common occurrence in this section it seems. X, at the direction of Elon Musk has stripped link previews down to the bare minimum. No more titles, or descriptions, only a single image. It’s being slowly rolled out to its ~500 million users.

Have you ever spent a little too much time browsing Zillow, looking at homes way out of your budget and imagining what could be? Yeah, same. 

You’d be hard-pressed to own a modest home at a modest price these days — *cough* San Francisco *cough* — let alone a mansion. But what if you could own just a little piece of it? We’re not talking about getting the deed to a broom closet here; no, we’re talking about fractional investing in property. 

Mansion, a real estate company that lets you stay in luxury homes, just launched Mansion Invest.

The concept is straightforward: The Mansion team hand curates a collection of luxury homes, typically picking only the top 1%. These homes get listed on their investing marketplace. From there, you can buy up shares of each home and earn passive income through cash dividends from both renting and price appreciation. 

Shares in homes start at $9 per share with a minimum of a $99 investment. So, while a mansion might be out of our price range (right now, don’t give up!), owning a piece of one isn’t. Dibs on the en-suite! 

The founder of Mansion, John Sutton, has deep industry experience through his work at Opendoor and RedPoint Ventures. The seemingly big difference between Mansion and competitors (like Pacaso), is that the minimum investment is only $99 with shares starting at $9, the goal being to make the luxury home investment market as accessible as possible.
