Module 0: Types of Real Estate

In this module, we will discuss the various types of real estate and explore the pros and cons associated with each type.

Summary

Real estate is commonly divided into two major categories: residential and commercial. The former includes spaces intended for both temporary and permanent human habitation. Residential real estate is typically widely represented in the market, and its management can vary. However, its profitability is often slightly lower compared to commercial properties.

On the other hand, commercial real estate offers higher returns. Although the difference may be only a few percentage points, over the long term, this becomes a significant distinction. However, commercial real estate is not as prevalent in the market. Additionally, these properties are usually more expensive compared to residential real estate, requiring larger one-time investments from investors.
