When you buy units in a real estate investment trust, you're buying units in many commercial properties, and sharing in the portfolio's growth and rental yields. Thanks to smart digital platforms, such as BrickX, there are now unitised property funds that invest in Sydney and Melbourne residential properties. The property is typically divided into several thousand units and your investment rises or falls dependent on market value. The advantage? You can invest in prime residential real estate without taking on a mortgage or saving a deposit.
