Many people dream of owning their own property and becoming financially independent through passive income. With the help of so-called REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), investors can diversify their real estate investments worldwide. They are a popular form of investment for investors who want to benefit from the potential returns of the real estate market without directly owning an apartment or house.
Investors worth millions often take a different approach: they can invest in real estate projects as shareholders in companies, which has a number of advantages. One of the best-known real estate entrepreneurs is René Benko. The Innsbruck native has worked his way up: With the help of his network, which extends into politics, he has made it from modest circumstances to self-made billionaire. His Signa Group now owns world-famous buildings such as the Chrysler Building in New York, the Alsterhaus in Hamburg and the Upper West in Berlin. In this episode of "True Deals", we find out how he achieved this and why he has been criticized.
In this episode, Elena Reuter, Head of Real Estate at FINVIA, is our guest expert.

A new episode of True Deals about the machinations of international companies, corrupt managers and spectacular deals is published every second Friday.
