Determine if REITs Are Right For You ď‚— A real estate investment trust (REIT) is essentially a share of
stock in a real estate venture, which is similar to a mutual fund. REITs serve to pool the money of investors for the purpose buying, selling, developing and managing real estate properties.
Learn About the Different Types of REITs ď‚— REITs can be classified in different ways, usually by the assets or
geographical areas that they invest in. Before purchasing an REIT, you should research the investments that it is involved in and consider the future performance of these markets.
Purchase Shares of REITs ď‚— REITs, like any other security, can be bought and sold on public
exchanges. However, shares of REITs are also bought up by mutual funds and traded as part of Exchange Traded Funds. ETFs may help to minimize the risks because the expense ratios needed to operate the funds are typically lower. They also typically yield above average returns.
Find out if Investing in an REIG is Right For You ď‚— Like a REIT, a real estate investment group (REIG) pools the
money of two or more people to purchase, develop, manage and sell properties. In many cases, the properties bought are apartments or a similar property type, and investors own one or multiple units within the building.
Commit Your Capital ď‚— When you've found the right organization for you, consider how
much capital you can contribute. When you have your number, you are ready to make an investment. However, investing in an REIG is not as easy as buying a share of stock or investing in a mutual fund. To invest, contact your chosen real estate investment group and express your interest in investing.
Consider an RELP ď‚— A real estate limited partnership (RELP) is yet another way you
can throw in with other investors. In this organization, you will invest in a particular real estate project along with a property manager or a real estate development firm.
Tax Benefits ď‚— If you have earned equity from investment properties, there is a
legal method reinvesting that money into another property without paying taxes on it. This is known as a 1031 exchange and allows you to sell out of the first property and reinvest your gains in a second property without recognizing it as a taxable sale.
Consider Hiring a Property Manager ď‚— If you receiving consistent returns on your rental property or are
the landlord of multiple properties, you should think about hiring a manager to take care of your properties for you.
