Real estate, often used interchangeably with real property, is a term which encompasses land and the fixtures and improvements made therein. Thus buildings, for any purpose categorized as residential, commercial, or industrial, and other type of constructions that are permanently fixed within the determined and absolute location of the land are considered as part thereof.
The first recorded use of the term "real estate" dates back to 1666, a period to which most members of most royal families and nobility had shown the preference to land as a form and symbol of wealth. The primary basis for distinguishing "personal" property from "real" property is the concept of immovable properties against movable ones. History dictates that the term "real" of the "real estate" had been derived from the "real" which means "royal" and that the concept of taxing any person for the ownership and use of land as first implemented by Kings and the members of the royal family and nobility had primarily followed such etymology.
Regulations of land and real estate vary and are primarily based on the three (3) primary and general types of land uses, that is, residential, commercial, and industrial. Allocating the proper and suitable types of activities is prescribed by the zoning regulations that vary among cities of each country. Areas prescribed strictly for residential use would contain only residential or dwelling units. Commercial areas are prescribed to combine a mix of businesses and some units for residential uses. Industrial zones would contain factories, warehouses, businesses, and industrial centers. As industrial zones would mostly host capital-heavy businesses, most zoning regulations do not prescribe residential units to be built within areas that are designated for this type of activity. Though zoning regulations are reviewed and modified to accommodate needs that are unique in an area, the basic and fundamental concept that are prescribed in the designation of areas is hardly variable.
According to Rachel Epstein, author of the book "Alternative Investments", there are four (4) primary ways or means to invest in real estate: buying a house, buying or purchasing rental property, buying land and introducing improvements therein, and buying a land on resale. As there are a number of tax and equity benefits in investing in land, most people primarily invest in buying rights over real estate.Many a number of investors who had been able to build a credible reputation in real estate investments had been able to acquire ownership over real estate without outright cash and through mortgage. Proceeds from rental property and sale of land primarily provide a good passive income to most land owners and investors. Though most land appreciates over time, most investors do not recommend investing in land as this entails higher risk over those that have improvements introduced in it, such as houses and buildings. The 3Ls, "location, location, location", in investing in real estate or the popular rule of thumb most known by investors persists until today.
The real estate industry is composed of a number of service providers that primarily cater the needs of both buyer and seller equilibrium of the market. Some known segments of the real estate industry are as follows, appraisal, brokerages, development, property management, real estate marketing, real estate investing, and even on relocation.
