Residential Real Estate:

Residential Real Estate includes the properties that are used for residence such as homes, apartments, villas, vacation homes etc. Investment in real estate is of different types such as investment for residence, investment to gain rental income or by investing small amount in the property and then selling it when the value gets appreciated. This can be small term or long term investment according to the market of real estate.

Investors get huge profits when they sell small amount invested property for large amount. The investors who do not want any kind of risk are more interested in investing in the properties to gain rental income. Rental income can be easily earned by investing in homes, villas, apartments. If these properties are used for vacations, rent for the properties are even higher. People use many techniques to make profit that include renting one room or a portion of the home according to the needs of their customers. Many real estate investors are earning through AirBnB by offering their residential properties for rent.

Commercial Real Estate:

Commercial Real Estate are the properties that are rented out or by leased by a business entity for opening a new business or expanding their previous business. Commercial real estate includes commercial shops, offices, fuel stations, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls and plazas, industries, factories, clinics, saloons etc. The business owner will have to pay the rent to the owner of the commercial property but if he himself is the owner then rent will be exempted.

Retail Real estate is also a part of commercial shops that are used to sell products or services to the customers such as a clothing store or a doctor’s clinic. Commercial properties have long term leases of minimum duration of 1 year unlike the residential real estate properties. The commercial investment is also expensive than the Residential real estate investment. But the businesses are supposed to make profit and it can be compensated.

Raw Land:

The raw land is almost same as residential or commercial real estate projects but the difference arises due to the level of development of the land. The undeveloped land or raw land can’t be used for both residential and commercial real estate projects as the basic amenities such as connections for electricity or gas etc. are not present. Usually this kind of land is invested in for farming and agriculture.

But if the land is situated close to the city then the owners and investors convert the simple raw land into residential colonies. Many residential colonies are emerging on raw land near the cities or just outside the center of the city since the past year and a half. But for developing this kind of properties, one need to be knowledgeable about the rules and regulations by the developing authorizes of the city.
