What is a REIT?

You don’t need to own a whole building to make money from real estate.

In fact, you can start investing with just $5—and it’s called a REIT.

🗝️ What Does REIT Mean?

REIT stands for Real Estate Investment Trust. Think of it like a stock, but instead of owning a piece of Apple or Nike…

You own a piece of a mall, apartment complex, hospital, or hotel.

A REIT is a company that:

• Buys or manages real estate

• Collects rent or property income

• Shares profits with investors (like you!)

💸 Why Would I Want One?

You don’t need a license or a big bank account. You can invest through free apps like Robinhood, Fidelity, or Fundrise. Many REITs pay dividends (money back in your pocket, usually quarterly). It’s less risky than buying an entire house by yourself

👀 What’s the Catch?

Like anything you invest in, REITs aren’t magic. Prices can go up or down.

But unlike stock in a random tech company, REITs are backed by physical properties—real buildings with tenants paying rent.

And for many first-time investors, REITs are a gateway to:

• ✅ Passive income

• ✅ Real estate ownership (without being a landlord)

• ✅ Financial confidence
