What Is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)? REITs allow anyone to invest in real estate assets by purchasing individual company stock or through mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETF).

Types of REITs Equity REITs Equity REITs are the most prevalent type of REIT. Equity REITs own or operate income-producing real estate like shopping malls, commercial real estate, self-storage, health care facilities, apartment buildings, warehouses, office buildings, cellphone towers, and hotels.

Mortgage REITs Mortgage REITs (mREITs) only provide financing for income-producing real estate by borrowing money at low short-term interest rates and purchasing mortgages that pay more excellent long-term interest rates.

Hybrid REITs A hybrid REIT is a real estate investment trust company that effectively combines equity and mortgage REITs (mREITs). They own and manage properties, collect rents, and invest in mortgage securities.
