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.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) What are REITs? Real estate investment trusts (âREITsâ) allow individuals to invest in large-scale, income-producing real estate. A REIT is a company that owns and typically operates income-producing real estate or related assets. These may include office buildings, shopping malls, apartments, hotels, resorts, self-storage facilities, warehouses, and mortgages or loans. Unlike other real estate companies, a REIT does not develop real estate properties to resell them.
