What a real estate investment trust is, and why it belongs in a diversified portfolio.

A real estate investment trust (REIT) lets everyday investors own a slice of professionally managed, income-producing property — the same way you would own shares of a company. Instead of buying a single building and becoming a landlord, your investment is pooled with others to own a diversified portfolio of apartment communities.
Why REITs matter
- Access. You can own real estate without a large down payment or a mortgage.
- Income. REITs are built to distribute the majority of taxable income to investors, so rental cash flow can reach you as regular distributions.
- Diversification. Exposure is spread across many buildings and markets, which helps smooth out the risk of any single property.
