National Real Estate Investment Trusts

National Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies that own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate across a country. Investors buy shares of these trusts, allowing them to earn a proportion of the income generated from properties such as office buildings, shopping centers, apartments, and warehouses. REITs provide investors with a way to invest in real estate without buying properties directly, offering liquidity, diversification, and regular income through dividends. They are regulated to distribute most of their taxable income to shareholders, making them a popular investment for income-focused portfolios.
