Invest in Real Estate Without Buying Property
Feb. 20, 2019
For many investors, stocks and bonds don’t offer the diversity they prefer in their portfolios. Everyone’s priorities and risk tolerance are different, but if you’re looking for a way to add exposure to different assets in your portfolio, real estate is one popular choice.
But what if you don’t have the capital – or the inclination – to buy property? Many people are not interested in buying property, and not everyone’s cut out for developing rental income or other types of real estate investing. How does someone like that add real estate exposure to an investment portfolio?
Well, you can do it with real estate investment trusts.
A real estate investment trust, or REIT, is basically a company that owns (and can even operate) income-producing real estate. You can buy shares in the REIT, which allows you exposure to the trust’s portfolio without having to actually buy or manage the property. REITs also pay dividends in order to obtain tax breaks.
For an equity REIT, revenues are generated from a portfolio of income-producing real estate. The REIT owns and manages properties, collecting rents. In the case of mortgage REITs, rather than owning the properties, these REITs lend money to owners and operators, generating returns on the net interest earned. There are also hybrid REITs that include equity and mortgage strategies. – Miranda Marquit
