Top investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the team that co-founded Zillow and grew it into a $16B real estate leader starts a new company, investors notice. That’s why top firms like SoftBank invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties – revamping a $1.3T market.

By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110m+ in gross profits.

Now, after 41% gross profit growth last year, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity is now, at the unlisted stage.

Until May 29, you can join Pacaso as an investor for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.

Best Strategies for Passive Real Estate Investing

Not everyone wants to flip houses, unclog toilets, or chase tenants for rent. That’s where passive real estate investing comes in.

You don’t need a toolbox or even a property manager. You just need capital, caution, and a strategy that fits your risk profile.

Here are the best ways to generate income passively in the real estate space.

🏦 1. REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)

✅ Pros:

  • Super liquid (buy and sell like stocks)

  • Diversified portfolios

  • Great for beginners

    ❌ Cons:

  • Subject to market swings

  • Less control over what you own

🏘️ 2. Syndications

✅ Pros:

  • Direct investment in large multifamily or commercial deals

  • Tax benefits via depreciation

  • Cash flow + equity potential

    ❌ Cons:

  • Requires accreditation or higher net worth

  • Your money’s locked up for 3–7 years

  • You’re trusting someone else to manage the deal

💵 3. Private Lending

✅ Pros:

  • You become the bank

  • Earn interest + points

  • Backed by a property (if underwritten well)

    ❌ Cons:

  • Higher risk if borrower defaults

  • You need a solid loan agreement and legal support

🏠 4. Turnkey Rental Properties

✅ Pros:

  • Hands-off investing with property management baked in

  • Monthly cash flow

    ❌ Cons:

  • Management fees eat into profits

  • Still some risk of vacancy or repairs
