Investment Stategeis-Exploring Real Rstate

Abstract

Chances are, when you think about investing in real estate the first thing that conies to mind is your home. Though a home is one of the largest investments the average investor will purchase, there are other types of real estate investments worth investing in. The most common type is income-producing real estate. Large income-producing real estate properties are commonly purchased by high net-worth individuals and institutions, such as life insurance companies, real estate income trusts (REITs) and pension funds. Although there are no REFTs in India now, some India-referencing REITs are reportedly considering listing offshore in established RETT jurisdictions — the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is currently finalizing guidelines for the introduction of Real Estate Mutual Funds (REMFs), and it will consider framing guidelines for REITs going forward. More broadly, the introduction of REITs could also provide many benefits to India's economic development, just as they have to other countries such as Australia, Singapore, Japan, the UK and France. For instance, this paper discusses the types and characteristics of real estate, things to think about when buying and owning property, and the rationale for adding real estate to your portfolio in the light of new economic and financial market developments
