REITs
Real estate investments
REITs (real estate investment trusts) are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate.
They allow investors to buy shares in commercial real estate portfolios—office buildings, shopping centers, apartments, warehouses—without directly owning property.
REITs must distribute most of their taxable income as dividends, making them popular for income-focused investors: Her retirement portfolio is heavy on REITs.
