Anatomical features. In humans, adipose tissue is located beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat), around internal organs (visceral fat), in bone marrow (yellow bone marrow), intermuscular (Muscular system) and in the breast tissue. Adipose tissue is found in specific locations, which are referred to as adipose depots.
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.
REITs are blind pools of investment properties with little transparency, and they generally carry high fees. Public REITs are traded like stocks and are therefore subject to the volatility of the market. In real estate crowdfunding, your risk is more localized and not correlated with the global equity markets.
