Your investing questions, our clear answers.

Our response:

Like all investments, investing in real estate can offer a range of benefits, but there is no guarantee that a real estate investment will earn you income or profit.

Real estate is one of many industries or asset class in which you can invest. The more you invest in real estate over other industries (such as financial services, energy, telecommunications, or health care) the more you become exposed to the risks and uncertainties of the real estate market.
