It’s an investor’s responsibility to keep searching for different investment options from time to time. Real estate investment requires a lot of patience and a positive attitude even in adverse situations. Buying a property only requires capital. However, maintaining the same property for a long time requires capital as well as a significant amount of time. That’s why some investors prefer mutual fund investment or Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) over large individual real estate investments. An alternative to a mutual fund or ETF investment is Real Estate Investment Trust.
What is a REIT?
A Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT is a company or trust that owns, manages, and in most cases, operates income-producing real estate properties. REITs allow investors to own shares in real estate properties without the burden of purchasing and managing those properties. The majority of REITs lease spaces to tenants and earn rents on those properties. While some REITs also lend money to real estate developers and earn interest on the loan. This kind of investment requires a long-term commitment and it isn’t for investors seeking short-term benefits.
Who is it for?
Any investor can invest in REITs. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, a REIT investment offers similar benefits to everyone. However, it may not suit every investor. An investment structure like REIT is more beneficial for retirees or someone who is on the verge of retirement than someone who is young and looking for short-term investments. As REITs provide a steady flow of income for a long time, it suits people who have already hung their boots or are planning to do so.
What are the different types of REITs?
How to invest in a REIT?
You can invest in a REIT the way you invest in other company’s stocks or bonds. A REIT’s stocks can be easily purchased and sold on the National Stock Exchange. When you buy shares in a REIT, you invest in the trust and not in real estate properties. That’s why a REIT investment doesn’t qualify for a 1031 exchange. Real Estate advisors or experts can help in exploring the challenges that come with a REIT investment.

1031 Risk Disclosure:
No offer to buy or sell securities is being made. Such offers may only be made to qualified accredited investors via private placement memorandum. Risks detailed in a private placement memorandum should be carefully reviewed, understood, and considered before making such an investment. Prospective strategies and products used in any tax advantaged investment planning should be reviewed independently with your tax and legal advisors. Changes to the tax code and other regulatory revisions could have a negative impact upon strategies developed and recommendations made. Past performance and/or forward-looking statements are never an assurance of future results.
Many of the investments offered will be only available to those investors meeting the definition of an Accredited Investor under SEC Rule 501(A) and offered as Regulation D private placement securities via a Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”). Prospective investors must receive, read, and understand all the risks associated with buying private placement securities. Investments are not guaranteed or FDIC insured and risks may include but are not limited to illiquidity, no guarantee of income or guarantee that all tax advantages or objectives will be met and complete loss of principal investment could occur.
Risk Disclosure: Alternative investment products, including real estate investments, notes & debentures, hedge funds and private equity, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss.
