REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)

A company that owns income-producing real estate and trades like a stock, letting investors buy real estate exposure without owning property directly.

REITs must distribute at least 90% of taxable income as dividends, making them a popular income vehicle — with the liquidity of a stock and none of the landlord duties, but also none of the leverage or control.
