A lot of people have never heard of REITs but they have proven to me excellent investment vehicles.
What are REITs?
A Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, is a company that owns, and in most cases, operates income-producing real estate. Some REITs finance real estate. To be a REIT, a company must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders annually in the form of dividends.
New regulations allow firms that qualify as REITs avoid paying corporate income taxes. REIT tax rate is much lower. Recently a number of firms have chosen to become REITs in order to unlock shareholder value. It has become a very profitable venture to identify firms that will become REITs.
