What are REITS?
Real estate investment trusts, or REITs, are a type of investment that allows individuals to invest in large-scale real estate projects without having to put up a lot of capital.
REITs are shares of ownership in a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate.
The income from a REIT is typically generated from rent payments made by tenants, but can also come from the sale of properties or the financing of real estate projects.
REITs are traded on major exchanges and can be purchased through brokerages. It’s as easy as buying shares on any brokerage you have (e.g. Robinhood, Interactive Brokers, Fidelity, Ameritrade, etc).
While most REITs focus on specific types of property, such as office buildings or shopping centers, some REITs own a portfolio of properties across different asset classes.
