Alternatives to Direct Property Investments

Investment in the property domain has never lost its sheen to the investors. People have always been keen on risking their money on fixed assets. But, lack of flexibility to exit, large investment amounts, and lack of market knowledge has refrained many willing investors from getting on with it. Small investors interested in the domain had no choice but stay away from the industry.

However, nowadays, direct purchase and sale of property is not the only way of investing in India Real Estate. With new investment portfolios coming in, you can very well begin investing with small sums, with partial or no commitment to the realty. These options give you the flexibility that was atypical of realty industry till now.

Mutual Funds

Real estate funds India are also traded as mutual funds which is more popular among small investors. Just like your normal MF's you can invest in one which specializes in this industry. The concept is similar to the normal funds, wherein a fund manager pools up resources and invests in various ambitious projects under his ownership and management. He looks after the money’s growth and ensures your principle sum is picking up pace. Once the asset is ready to be dissolved and exit, all the investors can have their profits back with a minimal amount deducted as the manager’s fee to handle the portfolio. There is even an option to continue with the investment in another project in India real estate.

ETF

This is also more or less like a mutual fund with the only difference being that it can be traded off at open stock exchange. Just like your market shares it has a variable price all year long, but you can easily exit from it at any time. It can simply be traded off to someone else at the current market rate.

Thus, with all these options in line, even if you can’t afford direct investment in properties you can still avail the benefits of the current market boom.
