Where to Invest Your Money

REIT

An REIT investment can be thought of as buying shares of a company that primarily deals with real estate. You get a slice of any profit they make, minus the costs, as a periodic dividend. Some REITs invest in real estate directly, earning rental income and management fees. Others put their money into real estate debt, such as mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. However, if they own and operate many different properties, their long term growth will get averaged across them all. Also, they have the same risk as investing in one single company.
