DEFINITION of 'Real Estate Investment Trust-REIT'. A REIT is a type of security that invests in real estate through property or mortgages and often trades on major exchanges like a stock. REITs provide investors with an extremely liquid stake in real estate. They receive special tax considerations and typically offer high dividend yields.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Real Estate Investment Trusts, commonly referred to as REITs, are special types of corporations that are federally obligated to invest only in real estate. As long as REITs pay out at least 90% of their earnings in the form of dividends, the companies are not required to pay income taxes. Generally, REITs can be divided into two categories: equity (which own physical properties) and mortgage (which invest in mortgages). If youâre looking to invest in REITs, another great way is through REIT exchange-traded funds (ETFs). REIT ETFs offer a diversified basket of REIT holdings.
