Real Estate Investment Funds from classic to modern in real estate investment

The classic understanding in real estate investments in our country is to own an asset that has a regular rental yield, especially in retirement, in the following periods after owning a real estate for use, which can be turned into cash by selling it in difficult times, and is minimally affected by changes in value.
