Real estate investment trusts (REITs) provide an opportunity for income-based investors to gain exposure to the lucrative real estate market without the need for large capital investments. Traditionally, high property prices limit ownership, but REITs allow for investment at lower thresholds, benefiting from substantial dividend payouts. By law, REITs must distribute 90% of their taxable income to shareholders, making them particularly appealing for retirees and income-seeking investors. The ongoing support for private property rights and real estate ownership feeds into the overall economic growth driven by commercial real estate finance.
Real estate has always been looked upon as a source of wealth, security and financial stability, making real estate investment trusts (REITs) a popular investment for income-based investors.
Organized as tax pass-through entities, REITs are required by the SEC to pay out 90% of all their pre-tax income to shareholders, making them attractive for dividend income.
