Mr. Vo Van Muoi, General Director of Kim Thinh Phat Real Estate JSC, said that industrial real estate is a potential form and a trend in the coming time.

According to the leader of this business, in recent times, types of real estate such as resort villas, townhouses or subdivision plots have developed very strongly and its value has increased somewhere. 5 times, there are even areas that increase up to dozens of times. However, the development of these types is tending to slow down, especially when epidemics break out.

Meanwhile, another type of investment is attracting attention, which can bring cash flow and is more sustainable than real estate near industrial zones. In the past time, many investors have won big by pouring money into real estate near the industrial zone.

“Industrial real estate is usually a game of the big guys, retail investors have very few opportunities to participate. However, individual investors, if they invest in real estate near the industrial park, they will not be able to participate. great profit opportunities.

However, risks cannot be avoided. Therefore, investors participating in this segment must pay attention to legal and planning issues. It is completely possible to see where a land plot is located inside, outside or bordering the industrial park, …”, the business leader said.

Mr. Muoi said that there are three phases to invest in land adjacent to the industrial park. The first is the period when there is only initial information about the project, although there are many risks but high profits. When new project information is available, the land price is usually very cheap, about 1-3 million VND/m2. This is also the period when soil fever is very likely to occur.

The second stage is the implementation phase, now that the legal information has been completed, the industrial parks have been shaped, investors will begin to deploy infrastructure, construct factories, factories, .. This is the period of the best price increase and high liquidity, very easy to buy and sell.

The third stage is when everything is clear, this is not the time of capital gains investment but cash flow investment. Investors can choose premises in prime locations to run inns for workers, or homes for senior professionals,…

Therefore, according to Mr. Muoi, investors must consider when to put money down and at what time to withdraw.
