Real Estate investment models
In the public market, you can invest in real estate (REIT) stocks or ETFs to get similar dividend returns 4-8%. However, because not all REITS are created equal, understanding each's real estate strategy is essential, as well as funding debt and interest coverage ratios. Common market investment reit stock strategies are:
* Healthcare - own hospital/ assisted living properties
* College apartments - own apartments near colleges
* Commercial office building - own office buildings
* Retail Properties - own retail stores / malls
* Refurbish properties to own or sell
The advantage here is that you can get equity growth and increase in dividends over time with a liquid stock versus an illiquid property as offered with the newspaper advertisements.
I have a few of these, NRZ is a refurbish investment, with a 10-12% dividend rate, and the company is well run.
