Investment real estate refers to property purchased with the primary goal of generating income for profit, rather than being used as a personal residence and getting the property cheaper than listed is one of the aims of any investor.
The investor, or owner, rents out the property to tenants directly or through a management company for short or long-term periods. In return the investor earns regular rental payments, which can be from residential rentals, such as houses, condos or apartments, or from commercial rentals which can be offices or retail spaces.
