What is a real estate holding company?
A holding company does not usually conduct much direct business, but owns controlling interests in other businesses that do. Thus, one definition of a holding company is that it derives the majority of its income through dividends, interest, royalties and rent collection. In the case of a real estate holding company, most of the company’s assets will be real estate or businesses, like hotels, resorts or casinos, whose chief value assets are related to real estate.
