REITs 101: Everything You Need to Know

Have you ever looked at a popular shopping mall or office building and thought—that would make a great investment?

In this infographic, we will cover important points that investors need to know —and even the ones you are not aware of—about this interesting investment vehicle before you start or continue with your REIT investing journey. By the end of it, you will have a clearer picture of how you can fit REITs into your investment portfolio and what to look out for

Investing in REITs is one way for investors to add income-producing real estate to their investment portfolios. While they are not risk-free, they can be valuable additions to the portfolio of investors who have done their due diligence.
