REITs come in all categories and may include office buildings, shopping malls, resorts, apartments, self-storage facilities, hotels, warehouses, and mortgages or bundled mortgage loans.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shellyrobersonrealtor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/REIT-Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.17.19-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

specialize in a single type of asset class.\u00a0 For example, apartment communities may be the focus of one REIT.\u00a0 There are REITs of all dimensions including retail, office, residential, healthcare and industrial as examples.<\/p>\n<p>REITs are required to primarily hold and operate the properties that they develop.\u00a0 This distinguishes REITs from other real estate companies.\u00a0 Most real estate investors and developers are always looking at reselling the properties after they have been developed.<\/p>\n<p>For the IRS to qualify a company as a REIT, a company must have the majority of its assets and income in real estate investments and must distribute a minimum of 90 percent of its taxable income to shareholders or members annually in the form of dividends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shellyrobersonrealtor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/REIT-Buildings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-602\"

REITs are equity REITs.\u00a0 Equity REITs commonly own and operate all types of income-producing real estate (discussed above).\u00a0 These types of REITs are generally not as leveraged as mortgage REITs.<\/p>\n<p>Mortgage REITs provide money to real estate owners and operators either directly in the form of mortgages or other types of real estate loans, or indirectly through the acquisition of mortgage-backed securities.\u00a0 Mortgage REITs tend to be more leveraged (using borrowed capital) than equity REITs.\u00a0 In addition, many mortgage REITs manage their interest rate and credit risks through the use of derivatives and other hedging techniques.<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative that you understand the risks of these strategies before deciding to invest in these types of REITs.\u00a0 Standard brokerages offer REITs as investment tools in 401Ks, IRAs, brokerage accounts, and other investment accounts.\u00a0 Please take time to read the disclosures for the REIT you are interest in before actually investing.<\/p>\n<p>Hybrid REITs are companies that use the investment strategies of both equity REITs and mortgage REITs.<\/p>\n<p>The most stable and well-known REITs (whether equity or mortgage) are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are publicly traded on a stock exchange (publicly traded REITs).<\/p>\n<p><a

registered with the SEC, but are not publicly traded. \u00a0These are known as non-traded REITs (also known as non-exchange traded REITs).\u00a0 An investor should understand the risks of the different types of REITs and their strategies before deciding to invest in them.<\/p>\n<p>As with any investment, you should take into account your own financial situation and risk tolerance, consult your financial adviser, and perform thorough research before making any investment decisions concerning REITs.\u00a0 You can review a REIT\u2019s disclosure filings, including annual and quarterly reports and any offering prospectus.\u00a0 You can invest in a publicly traded REIT, which is listed on a major stock exchange, by purchasing shares through a broker (as you would other publicly traded securities).\u00a0 Generally, you can purchase the common stock, preferred stock, or debt securities of a publicly traded REIT.\u00a0 You can purchase shares of a non-traded REIT through a broker that has been engaged to participate in the non-traded REIT\u2019s offering. \u00a0You can also purchase shares in a REIT mutual fund (either an index fund or actively managed fund) or REIT exchange-traded fund.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shellyrobersonrealtor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/REIT-money-buildings-istock_000000707010small1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
