FYI: The real estate market has come a long way since the 2008 financial crisis. Investors looking to tap into this diverse segment of the U.S. economy have two affordable options for doing so: real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate mutual funds.
REITs and real estate mutual funds are both designed for investors who want to diversify into the real estate market without having to invest directly in physical property. Both investment vehicles are easy to acquire and provide a more liquid option than outright ownership of the real estate. At the same time, the asset classes differ in a few notable ways.
In this article, we will explore the differences between these two asset types.
