Why I prefer investing in W. P. Carey or Realty Income instead of real estate: A financial expert explains the benefits of REITs.

According to a report by www.aktienwelt360.de,

Buying a property to generate passive income from rental income seems attractive at first glance. But more and more experts prefer investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) like W. P. Carey and Realty Income instead of concrete gold. These REITs offer several advantages over buying real estate.

W. P. Carey and Realty Income are more easily divisible and scalable compared to real estate. You can purchase a share of these REITs at a relatively low price and thus invest in concrete gold with even smaller amounts. In addition, these REITs offer greater flexibility and diversification as they have a broadly diversified portfolio of thousands of properties.

Another advantage of REITs is the lower administrative costs and the lower purchase costs compared to purchasing a property directly. The stock market listing also allows for greater liquidity when needed. Despite the volatility in stock prices, overall investing in REITs like W. P. Carey and Realty Income is considered more attractive than purchasing a single property.

The report advises that the advantages of REITs like Realty Income and W. P. Carey outweigh the disadvantages and therefore recommends investing in these REITs.
