The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic creates many opportunities and challenges for investors, especially industrial real estate. While resort real estate temporarily slow down still, land plots and townhouses tried to maintain transactions at a relatively good pace, and industrial real estate created a big surprise. This segment shows the possibility that supply-demand increases and the price level move upward between the epidemic.
At present, many businesses are looking for factories and warehouses for rental. They often look for existing factories to save on initial costs. Investing in factories for lease or resale is a potential form of real estate investment in recent years.

This method requires investors have to the experience to calculate the most reasonable costs. Next is to rent an existing workshop and re-lease. This method earns little profit but safe for investors. The third method is to build a factory (or industrial park) and rent it out. However, investors must have enough capacity and finance to do.

Professionals appreciate industrial real estate for three reasons:
