A REIT, or real estate investment trust, is a company that primarily invests in real estate loans. These loans can be for a variety of properties, such as commercial buildings, residential homes, or even vacant land. As investors, we can purchase shares in a REIT and earn a portion of the profits made from these loans. This allows us to indirectly invest in the real estate market without the hassle of managing properties ourselves. In addition, REITs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders, making them a popular choice for those seeking consistent dividends.
