How to Invest in REITs (Passive Commercial Real Estate Investments)

If you’re looking to passively invest in real estate without any of the work involved in owning and running these investments, real estate investment trusts may be the way to go for you. REITs are organizations that own and operate real estate assets, such as medical office buildings, triple net leases, and shopping centers. They are required by law to distribute a minimum of 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends, which can make for an attractive cash flow play as a passive investor. They’re also traded much like stocks, bringing more liquidity than traditional real estate and a familiar investing process for investors.
