Real Estate has been an investment option since the beginning of the United States. As the colonies developed more and more people began speculating on land, especially in the west. When the idea of manifest destiny came about these speculators made huge returns on their investments. Real estate in today's economy still has a huge importance. It is an investment that takes skill in finding the right area and huge risks depending on if the real estate market will go up or down. Corporations with large amounts of capital stand to make the most off of real estate investments because they are able to buy huge plots of land or huge buildings and developments. If everything goes as planned, these corporations stand to make huge returns on their investments. Whereas an individual can speculate on a few properties, a corporation can speculate on thousands.
