Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Financing

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are companies that pool money from investors to buy, manage, and sell income-producing real estate. They finance their operations through a combination of equity (investor funds) and debt (loans). This financing allows REITs to acquire properties like shopping centers or apartment buildings, generating rental income. Investors can buy shares in REITs, which often pay out dividends from this income. By investing in REITs, individuals can participate in real estate markets without directly owning property, gaining exposure to potential income and property value appreciation.
