REITs -Real Estate Investment Trusts

REITs -Real Estate Investment Trusts http://JoanWilson.PrudentialCal.com Hello this is Joan Wilson with Prudential California Realty. Let's talk about REITs today, real estate investment trusts.
A real estate investment trust is a tax designation for a corporate entity investing in real estate. It is a real estate mutual fund that reduces or eliminates corporate income taxes. REITs are required to distribute 90% of their income into the hands of the investors. They offer the general public an opportunity to invest in commercial real estate property without spending a lot of time in the process were a lot of money.
A REIT is a public partnership with a managing partner and a great number of investors. The income and tax consequences involved in owning shares in a REIT are the same as those in a partnership. The profits, losses, and tax shelter flow through the REIT to the owners. This makes the investment in REIT shares an attractive alternative to common stock ownership in a company without the real estate benefits.
REITs invest in shopping malls, office buildings, apartments, warehouses and hotels. Some REITs will invest in one area of real estate specifically - shopping malls, for example - or in one specific region, state or country.

Individuals can invest in REITs either by purchasing their shares directly on an open exchange or by investing in a mutual fund that specializes in public real estate.
