Real estate market has been showcasing red flags for some time now, which includes skyrocketing prices for a prolonged period of time during 2018, concluded with December of the last year.

This type of case scenario when it comes to stock market usually ends with heavy drops, value cuts and losses, which is why analysts consider that the real estate industry in the United States actually represents a bubble waiting to burst.

Judging by the general consensus of economists and market analysts, the real estate might take an excessive downward turn which might lead to the more price drops, which is why some investors who have been originally interested in real estate market are now turning to REITs as a safer option.

How to Survive the Real Estate Bubble: Investing in REIT instead of Physically Owning Real Estate?

Despite grim prognosis for the real estate market, real estate is something that will always be in demand despite the fluctuating prices and values, as after all, all people need to live somewhere (right?), however, when it comes to investing in real estate, 2019 might not be the perfect year for such investment.

Analysts are predicting that real estate is now a bubble waiting to burst, which should consequently bring losses to investors, which is why some investors are turning towards REITs investments as an alternative to physically owning real estate.

REIT or Real Estate Investment Trusts can help you become a part of the real estate market without actually investing in physical real estate.

As you can take advantage of downturns of the real estate market with REITs, you are able to invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts and still make profit despite the pending bubble that real estate market is said to be.

However, REITs won’t mitigate the entire risk of investing in real estate industry, because in case the market goes down all of a sudden and stays at the downward path, you won’t be able to just withdraw your investment and cash it in, so caution is advised.
