The platforms paying the highest, most consistent quarterly distributions — ranked by cash-on-cash yield, distribution frequency, and tax efficiency.
Last updated: · Reviewed by Raises.com editorial team
Passive real estate income in 2026 mostly comes from one of three structures: debt funds (you lend, you get paid interest monthly), preferred-equity funds (you sit above common equity, you get paid first), or stabilized equity in cash-flowing assets (multifamily, industrial, self-storage). Each platform optimizes for one. We rank by realistic net yield to LP, distribution frequency, and minimum check size.
