No money to own a property but always wanted your own place
Why not look into trading REITs! What's that? It stands for Real Estate Investment Trust.
Pavilion REIT
Imagine walking around Pavilion shopping mall and thinking... what if this was yours? Well, you could because when you invest in (say) Pavilion REIT, you technically own Pavilion! When they're profitable you share in this achievement with actual cash in your pocket.
Enter... passive income.
IGB REIT
Another example, if you invest in IGB REIT, you're technically an owner of Midvalley! This is because Midvalley is owned by IGB REIT and rentals paid by stalls and shops in Midvalley will go straight to IGB REIT... REIT is like shares in a property that you can invest by paying only a fraction of the real estate prices and generate income without having to buy the property itself.
It doesn't matter if you're an expert in digital trading; OR you're just a newbie to financial investment - you might just want to look out at REITs to bring you that extra MOOLAH!
