Now many people want to invest in the real estate market to get more wealth and income. But for people who don't understand the investment field, it may be difficult to choose the right investment. In the field of real estate investment, REITs fund and real estate direct investment are two common investment methods. So, what's the difference between these two investments?

First of all, REITs fund is a kind of securities investment fund, which obtains the return of the real estate market by investing in real estate-related securities. REITs funds are usually managed by a fund management company, and investors can participate in the investment through the fund share. Compared with direct investment in real estate, the biggest advantage of REITs fund is its higher liquidity. Investors can buy and sell fund shares at any time without considering the complicated procedures and expenses of real estate transactions. In addition, the diversification of REITs funds can also reduce investment risks.

Direct investment in real estate refers to investors' direct investment in real estate, which is rewarded by leasing or reselling. Direct investment in real estate requires investors to handle the management and maintenance of real estate themselves, such as the choice of tenants and the maintenance of houses. In addition, the liquidity of direct investment in real estate is relatively poor, because the transaction process of real estate is complicated and takes a long time to complete.

In addition, the investment thresholds of REITs funds and real estate direct investment are also different. The minimum investment of REITs funds is relatively low, while direct investment in real estate requires high financial strength. Therefore, for some investors with limited funds, it is more appropriate to choose REITs funds.

Finally, the returns of REITs funds and real estate direct investment are also different. The income from direct investment in real estate mainly comes from the rent and appreciation of real estate, while REITs funds get returns by investing in real estate-related securities. Because REITs fund has a wider investment scope, its income will also be affected by more factors, such as the overall market environment and the performance of fund management companies.

To sum up, although REITs funds and real estate direct investment are both important factors in investing in the real estate market, there are certain differences in investment threshold, liquidity, investment scope and income. Investors should choose the right investment according to their investment needs and capital situation.
