The Framework Of Real Estate Investment Funds In Turkey
24th May 2020- INTRODUCTION
Real estate investments can basically be realized in three different ways composing of a direct purchase of real estate, a purchase of share of real estate investment partnership, and a purchase of fund participation certificate. A great deal of capital is needed for direct real estate investments. For real estate investments by purchasing the share of real estate investment partnership, variations occur between the value of investment and price of the shares since the shares are traded in the stock exchange. However, such troubles which are faced in these other two real estate investment instruments are not in question for funds and the fund becomes more attractive with some other advantages it provides and its privileged legal position for investors.[1]
