What are REITs? Real Estate Investment Trusts or REITS are investment trusts (like mutual funds) that own and operate real estate properties, generating regular income and capital appreciation on their investments. They pool funds from investors, offering them a liquid way of entering the real estate market while helping them diversify their portfolio and earn regular income plus long-term capital appreciation.
