Understanding REITs
What are REITs?
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. They're required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends.
REITs provide exposure to real estate markets without the complexity of direct property ownership, offering liquidity and professional management.
