Real estate
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) enable the retail investor to benefit from the rising value of residential or commercial property. A REIT is a company that either owns income-producing properties or owns the mortgage on those properties. Typically, REITs specialize in a certain type of property, although you can also find hybrid trusts that offer a mix of investments. The REIT sells shares to investors, which you can purchase directly from the company or through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) or mutual fund.
Additional Considerations
Due to the lack of regulation of alternative investments, some investments are prone to scams and fraud. In comparison to traditional investments, alternative investments have fewer legal boundaries and structure.
