Real Estate Investing Through REITs
This article from The Balance provides an overview of the role of the Real Estate Investment Trusts or REITs in the real investment business. Before the 1960s, only wealthy individuals or large corporations had the financial muscle to make large-scale real-estate investments. As a means to provide real-estate investments opportunities to the ordinary people, REIT was formed in 1960 and later modified in 1999. The biggest advantage of REIT is that it allows the average real-estate investor to make huge profits from the booming real-estate market without taking the hassles of direct ownership. REITs enable the real-estate investor to have the properties managed by professional real-estate companies who know the ins and outs of the business.
