Summary/Abstract: The idea of an article is to verify hypothesis that residential real estate is the investment instrument with characteristics as follows: stable and high return and quite low investment risk. Residential real estate is an instrument that acts like long-term bond because of its ability to generate regular in-flows from rent (direct investment) or from dividend (REIT). According to previous research (Allen) the non-specific risk of this kind of instrument is quite low, and specific risks decreased in last years, inter alia as result of legal changes. Moreover, the profitability of this instrument is higher than profitability of instruments with comparable level of non-specific risk. The residential real estate is also effective instrument of protection of capital, as its ability to create residual value increases.
