Overview
The biggest worry with real estate is simple: once the money's in, can it come out? In this lesson, co-founder Ricardo covers the two ways to exit an investment on Stake.
The lesson explains the main path, a full sale, triggered when a property's value rises significantly and put to a vote among its investors in the app. It also covers the backup option, the exit window, which opens twice a year and lets investors buy or sell shares in already-funded properties once they've held for 1 year, along with the honest trade-off: exiting early can mean getting back less than holding to a full sale.
It closes with why patience matters most in real estate: appreciation builds over years, not months, and investors who hold through a full cycle tend to capture more of the upside than those who exit early through the window. That's why Stake generally recommends thinking in terms of a 3 to 5 year holding period.
