Direct investment versus private equity investment
While investing directly a property allows you to possess the property, but it also requires more work such as to first identify   the location and a property where it is having a growth potential and vicinity. Then the person has to do certain paperwork, that it should be registered , and find a tenant if the person wants to earn a regular income. If the person goal is for capital appreciation, than the process again prolongs as by finding a purchaser that makes the person to cross his target.

In a private equity fund you have to just put the money and the fund takes care of everything else. The advantage of private equity funds are that the investment spreads the risk by investing in projects across the locations. As an investment in a PE fund is a private contract between the fund and the investor, the funds avoids divulging their valuations and returns yielded by their investments.
