Introduction
Real estate has long been considered a popular investment choice, offering stability and potential for growth. Traditionally, investing in real estate involved purchasing physical properties such as houses, apartments, or commercial spaces. However, for stock investors looking to diversify their portfolios, a different avenue exists ─ Real Estate Investment Trusts or REITs.
What are REITs?
REITs are companies that own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate. They allow individual investors to invest in real estate without having to purchase or manage physical properties themselves. REITs are typically traded on major stock exchanges, making them easily accessible to the average retail investor.
