haha I'm still doing them so I guess I should shut up, but just look at this question!?


Within the alternative asset class of real estate, analysts can classify investments as:

A) either start-up or middle market but not as direct or indirect.
B) either direct or indirect and as either start-up or middle market.
C) either direct or indirect but not as either start-up or middle market.
Your answer: C was correct!

Real estate investments are generally categorized as direct (i.e., the purchase of land and buildings) or indirect that includes REITs and CREFs. The sub-categories of start-up and middle market apply to private equity and not real estate.
