A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate across various sectors, such as residential, commercial, or industrial properties. REITs allow investors to pool their capital to invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate assets, offering the potential for steady income through dividends and capital appreciation. REITs are required to distribute a significant portion of their income to shareholders, often providing attractive yields to investors. Additionally, REITs enjoy certain tax advantages, such as exemption from corporate income taxes, provided they distribute a minimum percentage of their income to shareholders.
