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.

“Debt is bad.” Most of us grow up learning and believing that statement (or something close to it) to be true. And, for the most part, it is. But like everything else in life, context is, well … everything. For example, if you came to me and told me you were unemployed, going to max out four credit cards, and ask grandpa for a loan to buy a brand new F150, I’d tell you that’s a straight up bad idea. And the “debt is bad” advice is mostly talking about just those sorts of transactions, consumer debt. But what about using debt in a different context? What if you’ve spent hours and hours researching a particular investment, a proven investment that you thought had a reasonable chance of return? What if you came to me asking whether that might be a good use of debt? Well, I always refrain from giving advice like that, but for the sake of this analogy, I might be convinced it’s a good idea. Here’s the thing… debt isn’t always bad. You have to be smart and careful in your use of it, but it can be a powerful weapon when it comes to investing in commercial real estate.
