"Safer than stocks. The stock market is volatile and risky compared to property ownership"

That's a bold statement. Property markets can crash too. And what happens if a crappy tenant trashes the place, or the property turns out to have subsidence, or asbestos, or covered in dangerous cladding? And insurance doesn't pay (for whatever reason, plenty of real world examples of this)

Also in the stock market you have some stronger notion of the efficient market hypothesis working in your (or better the average persons) favour

Will be interesting to see how they build their management fee in, what realized fees look like, how units are valued and whether that price can be independently verified. Clearly the aim is to dress this up to feel like exchange trading, but there is no open market for some standardized unit of "fractional landlording", so presumably they are always on the other side of every transaction.
