The Real Roadblocks That Stop You From Investing

Many investors want exposure to real assets but never start. The blockers feel big and vague so the easy choice is doing nothing. Here are the real roadblocks and what to do today.

Problem 1: Unclear steps

You do not have a path. The process looks messy and you worry about missing a step.

Fix: write seven steps on a single page. Account setup, KYC, watchlist, doc review, net yield estimate, small entry, quarterly review. Keep the list visible and move one step per day.

Problem 2: High minimums

You think you need a large commitment to start. That keeps you on the sidelines.

Fix: use fractional offerings with low minimums. Begin with $1 and spread entries across regions and types.

Problem 3: Uncertain liquidity

You are afraid you cannot exit when you need.

Fix: plan execution windows and set alerts on spreads and depth. Use limit orders and avoid thin venues. Keep a cash buffer so you never rush exits.

Problem 4: Complexity fear

You worry about custody, wallets and paperwork.

Fix: separate storage and trading. Use a reputable wallet, write a recovery checklist and test it. Keep documents in one folder and a single notes file for decisions.

Problem 5: Rate anxiety

You fear rates rising and payments changing.

Fix: focus on net yield after all costs. If you value predictability consider interest free structures that replace interest with fees. Size small and review on a cadence.
