Real estate investing refers to the purchase, ownership, management, rental, and/or sale of real estate for the purpose of earning a profit.

This can involve a variety of strategies, including buying and holding rental properties, flipping properties for a quick profit, investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs), or participating in real estate crowdfunding platforms.

Real estate investing can be a way to generate passive income, diversify an investment portfolio, and build long-term wealth.
