REIT
A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is a company that owns income-producing property — apartments, warehouses, malls — and is required to pay out most of its profits as dividends. It's real estate exposure without being a landlord: no tenants, no toilets, no 2 a.m. plumbing calls. They trade on stock exchanges like any share.
Example: A REIT yielding 5% pays about $500 a year per $10,000 invested, usually in quarterly checks.
