By owning only one or two properties, real estate investors can diversify slightly. It is not advisable for investors to become too dependent on the performance of an investment because if there is an extended vacancy or a large unexpected expense, the profitability of a property may decrease. Many investors choose to create property investment companies to leverage the combination of their capital for larger investments and distribute their exposure to risk.
There are several methods that investors use to join and raise their funds. It can be achieved through the grouping of a few investors who have existing relationships or on a much larger scale, so each investor represents a small fraction of the total investment. The most common type of real estate investment company is a REIT (Real estate investment Trust). REIT uses the common capital of many investors to buy income-generating properties and to lend to other real-estate collateralized borrowers.
Companies investing in properties can raise millions of dollars of capital and have this financial strength and size allows them to buy larger properties such as hotels, retail stores and office buildings. Many focus on a specific real estate sector and can invest according to their specific objectives and investment strategies.
Companies investing in property can take many forms, such as mutual funds. Some real estate mutual funds actively buy properties while others invest in other companies that own and manage real estate. Pension funds are also large investors in the ownership of commercial real estate and then rent space as another source of income. State-controlled pension funds are sometimes large supporters of state-level development programs. Insurance companies were an important source of loans for residential real estate companies after World War II, reaching 23.5 percent of all residential loans in 1951. Since that time, residential loans from insurance companies have declined to less than 3 percent today, and Han developed primarily on loans for commercial real estate projects.
By collecting capital and creating companies that invest in properties, investors can join and buy larger real estate investments. This strategy can provide investors with greater diversification that can reduce the amount of risk associated with a particular portfolio. In addition, the combination of investor capital also opens the door to many additional opportunities that would otherwise not be available to individual investors, for example, certain types of property are generally too expensive For the individual investor.
