Direct real estate investing involves buying a stake in a specific property. This is done via either a debt or equity investment. With a debt investment, you are taking part in the lending of capital required to develop or purchase a property. While with an equity investment, you are purchasing an ownership stake in the property. You will share in the profits (e.g., dividends), and the value of your ownership stake will increase if the property performs well.
