Seeking Alpha – It’s fairly intuitive to think that real estate isn’t the best investment to throw money at these days. Even with talk of a market bottom in the U.S. and report after report of over-inflated prices in Asia, one could be forgiven for thinking that it’s just not a solid, safe bet in the long-term.
But that’s actually far from the case, particularly when it comes to institutional investors looking for “alternative” investments that can yield them something a little better than single digits, according to several recent research reports that have crossed our path lately. Despite having their heads handed to them during the ‘08 crash, institutional investors continue to be the popular kids.
