Traditional real estate investment entities such as pension funds, REITs, investment banks, and most opportunity funds, must typically deploy large amounts of capital.
Yet, relatively few real estate assets are large enough to meet their criteria.
The result is a competitive and efficient market.
The "winners" are the ones with the lowest cost of capital who can pay the highest price in a bidding process.
Furthermore, as the majority of investors in such entities are non-taxable, the investment strategies are not usually optimized for tax efficiency.
