Real Estate Investment Trusts

A Real Estate Investment Trust, also called a REIT, is a timely alternative to traditional hard asset 'real' property investing. Investing in real estate generally and rental apartments specifically has always been considered a safe and conservative long term investment, providing steady, predictable income with moderate, dependable growth. By investing in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), you are able to achieve the benefits of investing in a diverse property portfolio providing consistent, tax-efficient returns without stock market volatility.

A REIT will invest in apartments, retail shopping centers and commercial office buildings. Like other companies, a REIT often trades on a major stock exchange. The pooled capital of many investors is used to buy assets under the REIT. In turn, the REIT earns profits for its shareholders through rents and capital gains.

Certain tax advantages are offered to a REIT, dictated by applicable federal and state laws and procedures. For example, a REIT may bypass corporate income tax if it distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to shareholders annually. A REIT is usually managed by one or more trustees, who hold the title to the assets of the REIT and direct future investments.
