aspects of each investment option.

Definition
• Real estate that generates income or is otherwise
intended for investment purposes rather than as a
primary residence. It is common for investors to own
multiple pieces of real estate, one of which serves as
a primary residence, while the others are used to
generate rental income and profits through price
appreciation.
• The tax implications for investment real estate are
often different than those for residential real estate.

5.
Examples
• Common examples of investment properties are
apartment buildings and rental houses, in which the
owners do not live in the residential units, but use
them to generate on-going rental income from
residents. Those who invest in real estate also expect
to generate capital gains as property values increase
over time.

Real Estate Investment trust
• A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns,
and in most cases, operates income-producing real estate.

from office and apartment buildings to warehouses,
hospitals, shopping centres, hotels and even timberlands.
Some REITs also engage in financing real estate.
• Created by the U.S. Congress in 1960
• [1] REITs were designed to provide a real estate investment
structure similar to the structure mutual funds provide for
investment in stocks.
• [2] REITs are strong income vehicles because REITs must pay
out at least 90 percept of their taxable income in the form of
dividends to shareholders.

exchanges, public but non-listed or private.

Cont.
• A 2000 Real Estate Law allowed legally-resident non-Saudis
to own real estate for their private residence, provided they
get a license from the Ministry of Interior. The law also
allows real estate ownership by foreign investors in order to
conduct their business activities, and for the
accommodation of their employees, with permission from
the Ministry of Interior. To prevent speculation, five years
must elapse before property can be sold.
