If we love property investment, we could choose to buy a property. This is usually very expensive and we may need to continue paying and holding on to it for many years. We could choose to buy into Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) which gives us continuous dividends, especially if there are some commercial buildings we love and this is part of a REIT fund. If we love a certain property but we could not afford, we could also buy the developer for that property too if the developer which is listed in the BURSA.
If you love the third idea, then here’s another one counter which is joining the Main Board and it’s real estate related too. Not as a developer but as a sub-contractor to many developments.

Why construction company and developer is different?
If developer completes the project and they could not sell fast enough, this affects its cash flow. A construction company will get paid when they have completed what they have been tasked to do. They do not need to wait for all the units to be sold to receive their money. This is why when we buy into a listed sub-contractor and a listed developer, we need to understand the difference. One may have to rely on winning the next construction contract while the other would have to rely on selling their developments quickly. Happy deciding yeah.
