Investing? But in which asset?

Investing? But in which asset?

“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world”; such was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s view of real estate.

When we talk about real estate investment, most people think of residential real estate. This thought is reflected in acts of purchase where a predominant share in the number of transactions carried out is of residential real estate. - nearly one million sales in 2018 in France -

Savills, of course, offers you many properties, available worldwide.

But investing in real estate does not necessarily only imply residential. Indeed, there are many other assets, sometimes even more profitable than a residential investment (provided of course that it is not the purchase of a "firm favorite" of a main residence).

First and foremost, commercial real estate! With more than €241 billion invested in Europe in 2018, including €32 billion in France, - the country is one of the top three European countries - this asset class represents an enormous and highly diversified market!
