Can I invest using my IRA or 401(k)?

Yes. Many investors use a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k). Check eligibility with your custodian or financial advisor, and if you need a custodian, our team can connect you with one. Learn more in our guide to investing with a self-directed IRA.

Returns and distributions

How do I earn money with Honeyshares?

Investors receive distributions from each investment's cash flow, and may also benefit from appreciation when a property is sold. Distributions are not guaranteed.

How often are distributions paid?

Each offering sets its own distribution schedule, which you'll see in its offering documents before you invest. You can track every distribution in the investor portal.

How are taxes handled on my distributions?

Investors receive a Schedule K-1 each year, which reports their share of the investment's income, expenses and depreciation. Depreciation may reduce taxable income. Talk with a tax professional about how this applies to you.

Fees, liquidity and risk

What fees are associated with my investment?

Our offerings may include a one-time acquisition fee for finding, analyzing and securing a property, and an ongoing asset management fee for running operations and keeping investors updated.

Before you invest, you'll see a full breakdown of fees for that opportunity. Our success is tied to yours.

Can I get my money out early if I need to?

Each investment has a target hold period. Honeyshares may offer limited early liquidity, such as a resale or investor buyout, on a deal-by-deal basis, depending on the investment's structure and investor interest at the time.

You'll see the hold period and any early-exit options before you invest.

Are there risks involved?

Yes. All real estate investments carry risk, including market downturns, vacancies, regulatory changes and interest rate moves, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Review each opportunity's risks before investing.
