How does a real estate hedge fund work?
Real estate hedge funds invest in the publicly-traded stocks of current real estate companies. Chiefly they invest in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trust). REITs exclusively invest in real estate and get tax exemption for this investment as well. The structure of REITs is quite similar to mutual funds in the sphere of realty. REITs are required to lay out 90% of the income, which is contingent on tax redemption for the REITs investors.

There is another of investment too which is totally different from investing in REITs. Hedge funds invest money through acquisition of the underrated assets at lower rates. These properties are purchased in anywhere on the earth, but for selling it has to maintain a fixed cause of disbursal, which is lack of liquidity on the seller part.
