Fractional Real Estate Investment (FREI) is a new investment scheme where several investors can share ownership of expensive properties, increasing accessibility and diversification of real estate. Investor attitudes, choices and fears towards FREI are investigated in this research through an online questionnaire. Major findings indicate that investor familiarity is low, but willingness to invest rises with assured returns and safe exit options. The research underlines the importance of regulatory support, platform transparency and liquidity mechanisms in influencing investor confidence. Recommendations such as raising financial literacy levels, enhancing transparency on platforms, developing better secondary markets, and reinforcing regulatory frameworks have been proposed to promote trust and uptake of fractional ownership in real estate.
