Own Realty Assets is a professional real estate company specializing in real estate investing. One of the main differences between investing in a piece of real estate as compared to stocks or bonds is that real estate is an investment in the home or building and the land it is built upon. This makes real estate tangible, unlike most stocks you can see and touch real estate. Though home ownership is one of the largest investments the average investor will purchase, there are other types of real estate investments worth investing in. The most common type is income-producing real estate. There are four broad types of income-producing real estate: offices, retail, industrial and leased residential. There are many other less common types as well, such as hotels, mini-storage, parking lots and senior care housing. The common characteristic is that they are income producing.Non-income-producing investments, such as houses, vacation properties or vacant commercial buildings, are as sound as income-producing investments. The difference in a non-income producing property is you will not receive any rent, all of your return is through capital appreciation. If you invest in debt secured by non-income-producing real estate, remember that the borrower's personal income must be sufficient to cover the mortgage payments, because there is no tenant income to secure the payments.
