Property is no longer a choice between buying a rental flat and doing nothing. The Real Estate Shift maps the whole landscape of modern real estate investing so you can decide which route suits your money, your time and your appetite for risk. The book begins with the classic approach: direct ownership, the crucial difference between gross and net yield, and the cycles that lift and sink property markets. It then moves to the PropTech era, explaining how REITs work and how to evaluate them, what real estate crowdfunding offers and where its risks hide, and what housing as a service means for investors. Two success stories, one traditional and one built on listed vehicles, show the ideas in practice. A side-by-side comparison and a closing chapter on portfolio strategy help the ordinary investor put it all together.
