Online Tools for Learning about REITs and Investing in Real Estate Stocks

Oct. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Detroit, MI – REITbuyer.com is an online real estate investment trust (REIT) broker.  REITs were established by US Congress in the 1960s to allow individuals and families to be involved in large-scale investment opportunities.  “Access to these investment opportunities was limited to wealthy individuals and institutions before Congress became involved,” said Mr. REIT Buyer, creator of the REITbuyer.com.

The first question asked was “What are REITs?”  “Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are corporations that primarily own and usually operate real estate that generates revenue including hotels, commercial office buildings, rental homes, apartment complexes, etc…REITs may also finance real estate and many have their shares traded on major stock exchanges,” explained Mr. REIT Buyer.

Mr. REIT Buyer also explained the requirements a corporation must comply with in order to be considered a REIT.  “According to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Tax Code, a REIT is required to pay, annually, at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of shareholder dividends.  A REIT must be managed by a board of directors or trustees and have a minimum of 100 shareholders.  For additional requirements and too read the complete article by Mr. REIT Buyer, visit http://allaboutreits.blogspot.com/

Mr. REIT Buyer talked about the different types of REITs that are available today.  “Right now, there are many publicly traded REITs in the US according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.  Shares of REITs are being traded on major stock exchanges daily, which make them different from traditional real estate.  REITs are classified into three categories; Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and Hybrid REITs.  Equity REITs own and operate revenue generating real estate; Mortgage REITs lend money to real estate owners or extend their credit by purchasing loans or mortgage-backed securities; Hybrid REITs own properties as well as make loans to real estate developers and property managers.”

Mr. REIT Buyer considers REITs to be a good investment for diversifying your portfolio and reducing financial risk.  REITs dividends come from the rent paid by those who occupy the REITs properties, which is considered to be a fairly stable revenue stream.  Because rental rates tend to increase during periods of inflation, REIT dividends are usually protected from the negative effect of rising prices.
