Real estate investment is a form of limited liquidity compared to other investments, capital intensive and highly dependent on cash flow. It includes buying, owning, managing, leasing and / or selling real estate for profit. Improving real estate properties as part of a real estate investment strategy is generally considered a sub-specialty of real estate investment, called real estate development. The real estate sector consists of four sub-sectors: housing, retail, hospitality and commerce. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate also increase significantly, providing the infrastructure needed to grow demand.
