Real Estate Investment Group

A real estate investment group, or REIG, is a collaboration of partners in the real estate industry. It is a company which primarily focuses on purchasing, selling, renovating and developing residential and commercial real estate. Essentially, REIGs act as a platform, allowing individual investors to come together to participate in larger investment initiatives.

REIGs, unlike REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), are not subject to any particular restrictions, legalities or regulations. Thus, REIGs offer more investment opportunities, with a higher degree of flexibility. Through REIGs, individual investors have the potential to pool their resources, share risk and benefit from the advantages of capital leverage.

REIGs are usually formed as partnerships and pass their income through K-1 forms, further increasing their potential tax advantages. They are also much more cost-effective compared to buying multiple single-family homes, as one consolidated property and one loan can be used to purchase bulk real estate.

REIGs harness the potential of collective real estate investment and allow individual investors to come together and benefit from the vast potential of real estate. Real estate being one of the oldest, most dependable and profitable investments, the best way to reap the maximum rewards is to join forces and take initiative. REIGs provide the perfect opportunity and platform to do so.
