What are REITs and how do they provide exposure to real estate?
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are investment vehicles that allow individuals to invest in income-generating real estate without owning physical properties.
They pool money from investors to purchase, manage, or finance real estate properties such as office spaces, shopping malls, apartments, warehouses, and hotels.
REITs are required to distribute a significant portion (usually 90% or more) of their income as dividends, making them a popular choice for income-seeking investors.
They allow you to invest in property without owning one directly. Investing in REITs lets you buy shares in real estate portfolios, giving you real estate exposure. It is seen as a way to earn dividends and diversify your investments.
