what's real estate? what's real estate investment?

Answer 1

Real estate is land and the improvements that are on the land.

Real estate investment is the purchase of such property, in an attempt to make a profit from rental income or increase in value!

Answer 2

To be very basic, it's land and anything that is permenantly attached to that land.

Real Estate investment is where you invest large sums of Money in Real Estate (usually for the long term) in hopes of a return on that money ( an increase beyond the original amount of money that you invested)

Typically Real Estate is the only tangible asset that truly appreciates in value. (there are situations however where this is not the case) This is because Real Estate is limited in quantity and there is no substitue for Real Estate (there is only so much of earth and you can only build building so high)

Hope this Helps

Answer 3

Real Estate investment implies investing your money in the booming property sector in India.

As you might be aware that the last few years saw a bull run as far as property prices in the coutry are concerned, coupled with low home loan rates.

As it is not possible for a retail investor to shell out 15-20 lacs to invest in a property for a few months & then sell it for a gain; the SEBI has recently approved Real Estate Mutual Funds. These funds would invest in good properties,Builders etc. & the best part is that a retail investor would be able to join the rally by investing small amounts.

All the Best.

Answer 4

Real Estate is land and/or buildings. Real estate investment is buying land and/or buildings, with the hope of either the value going up so you can sell it and make money, or renting it out so you can make money.
