DIE acts as the owner of the state real estate, and advises various public administrations in activities related to real estate, [2] for instance by coordinating the real estate strategy for all ministries. DIE functions under the ministry for budget ( Ministère de l'Action et des Comptes Publics ).

Contents

DIE is tasked with disposing property that is no longer used by the administrations, and which has become too costly or outdated to maintain. All in all, its real estate operations include buying, selling, renting, and development. Together with approximately 100 regional and local offices under the tax administration services, it performs all activities relating to the management of state property assets. The aims for DIE include to ensure that state property is efficiently managed, increasing the quality of public services, while at the same time reducing costs ; and also improving the working environment for government employees.

State real estate stock

The state is the largest owner of real property in France with nearly 100 million square meters and 200 000 properties (offices, houses, lands, hangar, training centers...). In 2018, the French state property assets were valued at approximately 65 billion EUR. [3]

Sale of state-owned real estate

Since 2006, the French government formed a strategy for state-owned real estate. One of the goals was to reduce government debt by selling state-owned real estate on the market. [2] Each year, the sales yielded between 200 ans 500 million EUR. [4] The larger part of the returns would be used as an economic incentive to economise on real estate holdings, by being partly returned to the ministries that previously occupied the property. [4]

Real estate investing involves the purchase, ownership, management, rental and/or sale of real estate for profit. Improvement of realty property as part of a real estate investment strategy is generally considered to be a sub-specialty of real estate investing called real estate development.

Real estate owned

Real estate owned, or REO, is a term used in the United States to describe a class of property owned by a lender—typically a bank, government agency, or government loan insurer—after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. A foreclosing beneficiary will typically set the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount. If there are no bidders that are interested, then the beneficiary will legally repossess the property. This is commonly the case when the amount owed on the home is higher than the current market value of the foreclosure property, such as with a mortgage loan made at a high loan-to-value during a real estate bubble. As soon as the beneficiary repossesses the property it is listed on their books as REO and categorized as an asset..

Family office

A family office is a privately held company that handles investment management and wealth management for a wealthy family, generally one with over $100 million in investable assets, with the goal being to effectively grow and transfer wealth across generations. The company's financial capital is the family's own wealth. Family offices also may handle tasks such as managing household staff, making travel arrangements, property management, day-to-day accounting and payroll activities, management of legal affairs, family management services, family governance, financial and investor education, coordination of philanthropy and private foundations, and succession planning. A family office can cost over $1 million a year to operate, so the family's net worth usually exceeds $100 million in investable assets. Some family offices accept investments from people who are not members of the owning family. It came to light during the 2021 implosion of Archegos Capital Management that family offices were reportedly "more loosely regulated than other investment vehicles, with fewer disclosure requirements."
