A return to real estate?

Article Abstract:

Strong growth is predicted in the real estate yields market after 2000 despite equities performing better over the longer period. Investors are taking a more considered view of the real estate market, preferring to put money into property rather than gilt bonds as a way to improve investment returns. The market is being driven by high expectations from investors who consider the real estate market to be less risky than was previously thought.

Article Abstract:

Investor confidence in limited partnerships has been negatively affected by concerns about the lack of liquidity, the overcrowded nature of the market place and economic decline.
