Briefly explain several main ways of real estate investment.
A: The so-called real estate investment method refers to the possible ways to invest in real estate. First of all, the objects of real estate investment and development are divided into: (1) undeveloped land, also known as real estate investment. Simply put, it is to invest in land, use the difference between the bid and the sale of land, and sell or lease the land after development to obtain investment income. As the object of real estate investment, there are two types of land: one is the old city and the other is the development of new areas. (2) residence. Housing is one of the most basic living conditions of human beings, so the demand for this kind of real estate is generally stable. Investment in residential real estate can be directly sold or leased. Therefore, housing is the main target of real estate investment. (3) Commercial real estate investment, including office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, etc. This kind of real estate is mainly operated by leasing, which has high income, but at the same time it also bears greater risks. (4) Others, such as industrial plants and storage properties, leisure properties, etc. Secondly, real estate funds are divided into: (1) Real estate investment trusts Real estate investment trusts (REITS) adopt the form of joint-stock companies to attract passive shareholders and investors' funds into real estate. (2) The real estate syndicated organization is similar to the partnership system in enterprise organization. Real estate consortia usually adopt limited partnership system. Limited partnerships are usually composed of major partners and limited partners. (3) The mixed real estate fund can achieve a better risk diversification effect due to the huge investment of the mixed real estate fund. The disadvantage is that in addition to the high capital requirements for participants, there is also insufficient liquidity and long investment period. (4) Real estate mortgage loans and real estate mortgage-backed securities The so-called mortgage securitization is an activity of correctly converting personal housing mortgage loans held by financial institutions into mortgage loans, and then financing by selling securities. Investors who buy mortgage-backed securities can indirectly obtain the income from real estate investment. (5) Direct purchase of real estate can also be called real estate investment. Refers to the purchase of property to meet their own living or rental business needs, and can obtain resale income when they do not want to hold the property.
