Eugene Gorab leads Greenfield Partners, LLC, as President and CEO. Since starting the business in 1997, he has been involved in real estate investing. Eugene Gorab and his team at Greenfield invest in a broad range of real estate properties and opportunities, such as direct investment opportunities.
In real estate investing, direct investments are those that come with an ownership interest in a real estate asset. This ownership interest could be partial or full, depending on the specific opportunity available. Institutional buyers are often more drawn to direct real estate investments since they are often larger in size. Such investments also grant the investor more control over their decision making since they are free to choose which assets they want to invest in based on their type or location. However, direct investments are not always the best option for everyone. Since they must be held for several years at a time, they are not liquid. This means that investors cannot sell their real estate investment until that period of time is over. Indirect investing, on the other hand, solves this problem with illiquidity. These types of investments grant investors a share in a private or public investment company, such as a real estate investment trust (REIT). Investors can more easily buy and sell these shares in a real estate asset. It’s also easier for investors to start indirect real estate investing since buying shares requires less capital and less time. This contributes to the fact that indirect investing also lends itself better to diversification.
