Top Ways To Invest In Healthcare Real Estate


Summary

  • ·         Healthcare real estate is one of the smartest investments on the market.
  • ·         Crowd-funding, REITs, Private Equity Funds, and ETFs are all great options for healthcare investment.
  • ·         Demographics show investments emphasizing senior housing may offer a more consistent outlook.

Investing in healthcare real estate is one of the smartest moves investors can make today. That means even despite the pending bubble burst due for our economy, the healthcare real estate sector is likely to remain strong.

Crowd-funding

For those looking for the feel of a direct investment—without the networking and high capital threshold—online crowd-funding platforms are the easiest bet.
They generally have a low investment minimum (think $10,000 to $25,000) and allow investors to pick from a wide variety of specific investment opportunities, for instance a medical office building in Dallas, a memory care unit in Pittsburgh, a hospital in Seattle, or a mix of all three.

Private Equity Funds

Private equity funds work similarly to crowd-funding, but with higher investment minimums and an off-line investment platform.
Because they are generally smaller and managed offline, you may find more personal involvement from the fund manager, and greater communication about specific project development throughout your investment.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

REITs offer a mix of traditional and alternative investment, allowing investors to enjoy the returns of real estate while operating within the confines of the trading market.
One other consideration: unlike private equity and crowd funding projects, most REITs exist as landlords for existing, operating facilities. For instance, the average senior housing facility owned by the average healthcare REIT is 18 years, meaning the facilities are not always the most highly profitable or up-to-date.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

ETFs like the Long-Term Care ETF are a hybrid of private equity and REITs—forming a portfolio of different healthcare REIT investments.
ETFs would be good for those interested in highly diversifying their investment in healthcare. However, ETFs could also be considered the furthest removed from the concept of direct real estate investment.
