Two ways to own real estate
Professional - Gold & Platinum
In this lesson
Compare direct property ownership with real estate investment trusts on leverage, liquidity, diversification, costs and risks.
Key takeaways
- Direct property offers control and leverage but is illiquid, concentrated and costly to trade.
- REITs are liquid and diversified but their prices can be as volatile as stocks.
- Both are sensitive to interest rates, rents and occupancy.
- Compare total costs, including taxes and commissions, before choosing.
