Property portfolio diversification refers to the diversification of property holdings I order to minimize investment risk. Real estate investors that plan to build a real estate portfolio can diversify their holdings across the following dimensions:

- Across different countries whose major economic sectors/industries are different and historically have moved differently, the rationale being that if an industry falls into recession in this globalized economy only a small portion of the portfolio will be affected
- Across cities within the same country whose economies are specialized in different and uncorrelated economic sectors and their real estate markets have shown differential behavior through time
- Across locations/submarkets within the same city whose real estate markets have shown differential behavior through time
- Across different property types that have exhibited differential investment behavior paths through time
- Across specialized property types whose investment performance depends on different and uncorrelated demand segments
- Across different business tenants that are active in industries that have shown differential behavior during economic recessions
In general, the principle of property portfolio diversification is to diversify holdings across categories of properties and locations that are most likely to exhibit differential investment performance because their income earning prospects is determined by forces whose movements through time are not related.
