Stake: Real Estate Investing

I do not recommend working with Stake at all. At first, I was very impressed by the ability to access international markets with stake. However, I’ve come to realize that it is very difficult to liquidate assets while retaining profit. The only way to get out of a property is to sell it during specific periods. This is problematic as you’re basically selling to other investors who are looking for deals and are also trying to liquidate their properties. In short, you’re going to have to sell your property at a very steep discounted price plus pay Stake’s fees, which dramatically reduces profitability. Stake really needs to provide alternative means of liquidating properties as does Fundrise and other eREIT companies. I can understand paying a penalty for an early withdrawal, but I do not like the system of being limited to specific periods of sale availability when everyone is trying to sell their properties at the same time. It essentially defeats the purpose of competitive pricing. I do not recommend this company.
