What is a REIT? A quick guide to property investment in Malaysia, without the headaches

Are you unable to afford investing in property because of the huge costs involved?

Well, the good news is you can indirectly invest in property via a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)!

These may include office buildings, shopping malls, apartments, hotels, resorts, warehouses or storage facilities.
