equity REITs

Equity REITs are investment companies that own and manage income-producing real estate properties such as office buildings, apartments, shopping centers, and warehouses. They generate revenue primarily through leasing space to tenants and distributing that income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Unlike other real estate investments, equity REITs are traded on stock exchanges, providing liquidity and diversification. They offer investors exposure to real estate markets without the need to buy property directly, making them a popular choice for earning consistent income and potential capital appreciation from real estate holdings.
