REIT
A REIT, or Real Estate Investment Trust is a corporation or business trust that combines or pools the capital of many investors to acquire or provide financing for property. Most REITs are traded on the stock market like normal stocks. Generally, a corporation or trust that qualifies for REIT status does not pay corporate income tax to the IRS. Instead, it pays out at least 90 percent of its taxable income in the form of dividends. REITs enable investment in all major commercial property types.
