REIT Demystified

To most people, real estate investing is limited to residential ownership with little thought of owning shopping complexes, industrial warehouses or office buildings etc.

Now, real estate investors can literally stretch their investment horizon with REITs (pronounced “reets”) which combine the best features of real estate and trust funds.

They give an investor a practical and effective means to include professionally-managed real estate in a diversified investment portfolio.

It also allows small investors a means to invest in real estate assets through a vehicle that is highly liquid compared to buying a real estate itself and with a smaller investment capital.
