What is Real Estate?
Information on real estate property 
investment comes with a lot of technical 
terminologies, so it’s important to 
remember the differences in the 
definitions of key concepts. First and 
foremost, it’s significant to remember 
the differences between land, real 
property, and real estate.
Land
Land specifically refers to the earth itself and the 
atmosphere directly above it. Land comes with 
natural resources such as water, trees and 
vegetation, and minerals. Moreover, the 
characteristics of land revolve around its 
“indestructibility, immobility, and the geographical 
uniqueness between each parcel of land.”
Real Property
Real property specifically refers to a 
parcel of land and “any additions that 
are permanently attached to the 
land.” And this includes the “rights 
inherent to their ownership and 
usage.” Furthermore, the 
owner of a particular real property
 has “all of the rights of ownership,” 
as well as the “right to lease, enjoy, 
possess, and sell the land in 
discussion.”
Real Estate
Real estate is defined as land with any and 
every permanent improvement or structure 
– such as houses and lots for sale or 
buildings – that is installed to such land, 
whether it is man-made or natural. Hence, 
real estate is classified as a "form of real 
property.” Furthermore, the changes or 
additions made to the land which affect the 
value of the property are 
called improvements; and 
an improvement can range from installed 
houses, roads, or sewage systems.
Why Invest in Real Estate?
Allotting resources into real estate investment 
Philippines is a terrific idea because of the 
numerous benefits that come with such 
investments. Good examples of such benefits 
are steady cash flow, passive income, leverage 
to be able to acquire more properties to bolster 
the benefits, and portfolio diversification of the 
real estate properties you own. In fact, real 
estate investment trusts (REITs) – which are 
defined in more detail in the latter part of this 
blog – even offer “ways to be able to invest in 
real estate without owning, financing, or 
operating properties of your own.”
How to Invest in Real Estate?
When it comes to investing in real estate, 
there is mainly a direct and indirect way. 
Direct investments typically center around 
the purchase of land, a home, and rental 
property/rental properties. On the other 
hand, indirect investments in real estate are 
made through REITs or via “pooled real 
estate investments.”
Which Investment Is Best in Real Estate?
Knowing which investments are best in real 
estate requires awareness of information 
regarding the factors that influence “real 
estate availability, investment potential, and 
prices.”
