Getting Started With Parcl: A Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing

For most people, real estate investing feels out of reach. It often means needing hundreds of thousands of dollars upfront, navigating agents, 30-year mortgages, tenants who call when the sink leaks, and piles of paperwork. Traditional investing can take months just to close a deal — and even then, you’re tied to one property that’s expensive to buy and hard to sell.

Parcl changes all that.

Now, anyone can get real-time exposure to housing markets with as little as $100. No tenants. No 3 a.m. repair calls. No massive down payments. No waiting months to close.

It’s real estate investing — faster, simpler, and smarter.

What is Parcl?

Parcl is a platform that lets you invest in the price movement of U.S. housing markets without buying physical property.

Instead of saving for years to afford a property, chasing listings, applying for loans, or worrying about maintenance, you can open a Deal that tracks the real-time price of major U.S. cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and more.

You’re not buying homes. You’re investing in the direction of the market:

• Think Miami is heating up? Open a Deal with as little as 5% down.

• Expect New York to cool off? You can take the opposite side just as easily.

No banks. No tenants. No red tape.

What Can You Invest In?

You can open Deals in major U.S. cities — New York, Miami, LA, San Francisco, and more.

Each city tracks the real-time price per square foot, based on data from Parcl Labs.

There are two ways to invest:

• Buyer → You believe the market will go up.

• Seller → You believe the market will go down.

Just pick a city, choose a direction, and confirm.

How Do Deals Work?

Getting started on Parcl takes a minimum of $100 — forget draining your life savings on a huge down payment.

The rest is automatically financed by Parcl’s liquidity providers. That means:

• No credit checks

• No mortgage approvals

• No stacks of paperwork

Just open the Deal and track your position.

Your Deal updates in real time with two key metrics:

• Equity → Your gains or losses as prices move.

• Cash Flow → Yield per SqFt based on current market demand.

Unlike traditional rentals that come with repairs, tenants, and long sales processes, Parcl lets you adjust or close your position anytime.

Your First Deal in 3 Easy Steps

1. Create your Parcl Account

2. Fund your account

3. Pick a city → Choose Buy or Sell → Confirm your Deal

And that’s it — you’re invested in real estate. No mortgage. No broker. No tenants. No six-figure down payment.
