In a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), you won’t have the option to invest in a particular property you are interested in. Instead you will invest in a fund structure that is managed by a fund manager who decides how the capital is used. For example, a REIT may include multiple assets like Retail, Hospitality, Offices, Solar Parks etc, in a pooled manner which may be sold / bought by the manager at his discretion at any time.
In contrast, BHIVE is a platform allowing you access to different investment opportunities. You decide to participate based on your choice. You directly decide when to enter / exit any particular asset basis your own evaluation of rental returns and capital appreciation over time. You can also visit the property to know exactly where you have invested.
