There are three real estate investment options
in different real estate sectors

Real estate can be defined as a property that constitutes developed and undeveloped land and buildings along with the use of natural resources of the land and its related activities that include flora and fauna, water, cultivating land, livestock, farming, etc. Simply put, real estate is a type of immovable and real property that deals with land and its related aspects.

Since real estate is included in asset classes, its value and demand appreciates over a period of time. In case of investment real estate guarantees good return on investment (ROI) and capital appreciation. But what are the different types of real estate investment? Let us take a look at different real estate investment options.

Land Development

All the real estate properties need land to flourish. Therefore, buying land and either leasing it for development or selling it when its value appreciates would definitely yield high ROI. If you buy/invest in a land in proximity to a prime location, busy area or a site that is prospective for future development, handsome returns are ensured for sure.

Property flipping is another commonly used term in real estate. When an investor buys a land from the owner, retouches it and then sells it further either in slots or all at once is known as property flipping.

Rental Property

While some real investors buy land, develop it and then put it on lease, some may only develop spaces and then rent it out to various real estate sectors. These sectors include:

• Residential – Single family and multi-family homes

• Commercial – Offices, Coworking Spaces, Malls, Retail Stores, Healthcare centres, Hotels, Garages, etc.

• Industrial – Research, Production, Storage and Distribution Buildings

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

REIT can be defined as an organisation or a company that owns and operates yielding real estate. This company comprises a group of people pool their money and introduce a new corporation to invest in more properties. These REITs may consist of a portfolio of residential, commercial and industrial real estate options or may also include a combination of all three.

To sum it up, we can say that Russel Sage rightly said, “Real estate is an imperishable asset, ever increasing in value. It is the most sold security that human ingenuity had devised. It is the basis of all security and the only indestructible security.”
