Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are investment vehicles that allow individuals to invest in portfolios of real estate assets. They operate by pooling the capital of many investors, which is then used to purchase, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. REITs are traded on major exchanges like stocks, offering a way for investors to earn a share of the income produced through commercial real estate ownership without actually having to buy, manage, or finance any properties themselves.
