Why the Wealthy Invest in Private Real Estate (And Why You Should Too)

Writer: Eric FitzgeraldEric Fitzgerald

How High-Net-Worth Investors Build Lasting Wealth Through Alternative Investments


Ever wonder why the wealthiest investors allocate such a significant portion of their portfolios to private real estate?

Hint: It’s not because they love flipping houses or managing tenants.


The ultra-wealthy know that private real estate offers:

Consistent Passive Income (Monthly or quarterly distributions)

Long-Term Appreciation (Wealth grows steadily over time)

Tax Efficiency (Depreciation, cost segregation, & 1031 exchanges)

Protection from Market Volatility (Real estate doesn’t crash like stocks)


These are institutional-quality investments—ones that most individual investors never hear about.


But today, that’s changing.


At Egg Capital, we help accredited investors access private real estate investments that were once reserved for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) and institutions.


How the Wealthy Actually Invest (Hint: It’s NOT Just Stocks)

For decades, financial advisors have told everyday investors to follow the 60/40 Rule—a portfolio with 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

The problem?

Stocks are volatile.

Bonds don’t generate enough yield.

Inflation destroys purchasing power.

Now, let’s look at how high-net-worth investors (HNWIs) invest their wealth:


Asset Allocation – Tiger 21 (Ultra-Wealthy Investor Network)

26% in Private Real Estate

29% in Private Equity

21% in Public Equities

8% in Fixed Income

11% in Cash & Other

5% in Other Investments


(Source: Tiger 21 Wealth Allocation Report, a network of investors with $50M+ portfolios.)


Notice something?


They allocate MORE to private real estate than to public stocks.

Why? Because real estate provides:

Cash flow stability (Unlike stocks, which rise and fall unpredictably)

Leverage (Banks help finance real estate, boosting returns)

Tax advantages (Stocks don’t offer depreciation benefits)


How Private Real Estate Builds Generational Wealth


Tangible, Income-Producing Assets – Unlike stocks, real estate is a physical asset with real value.

Appreciation + Cash Flow – Real estate provides both rental income AND long-term appreciation.

Tax Deferral Strategies – Investors use 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains taxes indefinitely.

Leverage to Multiply Wealth – Real estate allows investors to buy assets with debt, increasing returns.


Real-World Example: Compounding Real Estate Wealth


Let’s compare two investors:

Investor A: Stocks-Only Strategy

  • Invests $100K in the stock market

  • Earns 8% per year

  • After 20 years: $466K total (before taxes)

Investor B: Real Estate Strategy

  • Invests $100K in a multifamily syndication

  • Earns 8% cash flow + 4% appreciation per year

  • Reinvests distributions into more properties

  • After 20 years: $1.2M+ total wealth (with tax savings)

Investor B builds more wealth, generates passive income, and pays less in taxes.
