The second area that you may be interested in is investment properties. In this type of real estate business you will acquire residential properties and then rent them out to people and families. To be successful in this business you will need to know how to draft a lease agreement, understand the responsibilities that a landlord has, understand the tax benefits of owning rental properties, and have the capital needed to both purchase properties and to cover your expenses if a property goes unrented. If you don't want to take an active role as a landlord you also have the option of hiring a property management company to handle your rental properties for you.
