When it comes to investing, there are plenty of options. You can pick individual stocks, invest in mutual or exchange-traded funds, or buy an exchange-traded fund that tracks a particular market segment. In addition, there are several REITs worth considering if you are looking for real estate investments that won’t take up too much of your time and money. The acronym “REIT” stands for a real estate investment trust.
Today’s real estate market is unprecedented. It’s a buyer’s market, where listings are abundant and prices are low. Homeownership is at its lowest rate in nearly half a century. Digital platforms and mobile apps have made it easier to find properties and arrange viewings. In contrast, mortgage financing has become more accessible for first-time buyers as interest rates remain near record lows.
A REIT is a company that owns and operates properties as a business rather than as a personal asset. There are many benefits to investing in REITs; for example, because they serve as trusts, their returns are taxed at a lower capital gains rate than most other companies. In this article, analysts recommend the best stocks to buy now, some of the main advantages of investing in real estate through the trust structure, and some famous examples of individual REITs that you might consider including in your portfolio.
