When we talk about real estate our mind forms the picture of someone buying, selling or renting a property, but the real meaning is a property formed by land, buildings and the natural resources of that land. The picture we create is not entirely wrong, the act of selling or renting that land is what define the real estate market.

There are two types of real estate properties: commercial and residential. The residential type have its focus on family, being buildings, condominiums or houses, whereas the residential type is focused on business. The second one generally has higher prices, since the emphasis of the area is activities that generate profit, therefore rental apartments can be consider a commercial type of property. That does not mean that residential areas do not generate profit for the investors, you can be the landlord of a rental house, or help to develop the area. The latest way of investment in residential areas is home flipping, where you buy a house below value and sell it for a higher price. The houses can be old or unfinished properties that you can fix or improve them and sell or an under priced property sold by uninformed sellers or those in distress.

To work with real estate you need to have a genuine interest in the field as well as energy, a client-driven mentality and motivation to work long hours. The real estate agents have to be licensed professionals and can represent buyers and sellers in the transactions. Working, usually, completely on commission, they perform different activities depending for whom they work. Agents who work for sellers advise on prices and do the preparation for the sale, which may include last-minute improvements that can increase the price or encourage a fast sale, while the ones that work for the buyer research for properties through listing services, networking and advertisements that match the buyer’s price range and wish list.

The sale, acquisition, rent, ownership or management for profit of a real estate property are consider investing. The problem is that a high amount of cash flow is needed to invest in properties. However, investing in real estate will give you more control over the value of your investment since it is the purchasing of a tangible land, a real and physical property. However, to invest you need to know the market, know the places in development and the history of the place you want to invest. Investing in a growing community can be very profitable and spotting new developments can be easy when you know what you are doing. You need to be aware of the real estate economics and try to predict patterns of prices, supply, and demand of the area that you want to invest as well as be aware of the trends and structural changes that may affect the industry.

That are companies who buy properties and help the area to develop. That is what we do in Corniche Capital, we invest in all types of properties. We are involved primarily in the acquisition and development of mainly multifamily properties and hotel sectors as also businesses engaged in manufacturing or distribution, but also provide preferred equity and debt on properties with an upside story or acquire distressed debt on properties.
