Fixed Deposit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rental Property:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, investors of rental property would benefit from <strong>capital appreciation<\/strong> as well, while enjoying <strong>rental payment<\/strong> from their tenants which will help service their loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, with the rise of platform such as Airbnb, many are also making a fortune by converting their properties to accommodate to these platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_No_Fuss_in_Management_REIT_vs_Direct_Control_Rental_Property\"><\/span>(3) No Fuss in Management (REIT) vs Direct Control (Rental Property)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>REIT:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in REIT means you are investing in a real estate business that is <strong>managed by professionals and field experts<\/strong>. In other words, the management team will oversee rent collection, property maintenance and acquisition decision in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to earn passive income in the real estate business without much post-purchase issues, REIT is definitely a great option to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rental Property:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For many investors, <strong>having full control and outright ownership<\/strong> of their investment assets are of utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, one can decide what kind of property to invest in and when to sell those properties. Besides that, one makes all the decisions from how much rent to charge, the design of the property and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, if you own a rental property, you have full control over the asset, including the effort to maintain the condition of the property and rent collection from the tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-67128\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/majestic-hotel-pic-2-300x140.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/majestic-hotel-pic-2-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/majestic-hotel-pic-2.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>REITs are businesses that own and manage real estate portfolios.

Not only that, this flexibility also means that you can afford to make mistakes and still recover at minimal losses (because all you have to pay is a minimal amount of commission when you sell).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in REIT also allows one to <strong>diversify to different asset classes<\/strong> easily due to its low barrier of entry. As an example, at the very minimum, I can invest in YTL REIT (hospitality assets) at just RM119 (RM1.19 x 100 units) and <mark><a href=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/2018\/10\/20\/kip-reit-review-2018\/\">KIP REIT<\/a><\/mark> (retail assets) at just RM80 (RM0.80 x 100 units).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rental Property:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While owning rental property might not provide the liquidity and flexibility in diversification, one is continuously <strong>building ownership in a tangible asset<\/strong> (asset that has a physical form) when investing in rental property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owning tangible assets such as rental property will give you the ability to refinance your property over time and use the proceeds to purchase additional assets to grow your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_Money_Lahs_Verdict\"><\/span>No Money Lah\u2019s Verdict:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, REIT and rental property investing should not be an<em> \u2018either-or\u2019<\/em> discussion, but rather two type of real estate investments that should be practiced by everyone. As mentioned above, both methods of real estate investment offer their pros and cons and varying degrees of risk and reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Young adults<\/strong> with low initial capital should look into investing in REITs to gain some real estate exposure, while using the gains to venture into rental properties. On the other hand, <strong>experienced rental property owners<\/strong> should also look into REITs investing as a means to ensure capital liquidity in their real estate investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"font-762333\"><strong>Learn how I build PASSIVE INCOME in the stock market with MINIMAL RISK! <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/workshop\/\"> Reserve your Spot in My Upcoming REIT Investing Workshop HERE! <\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most amazing thing when it comes to real estate investment is its versatility.
