Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT)

The big advantage of reits over other real estate investments is liquidity. When you want to cash out, you do it through your broker just like you would do with any other stock, and buy more shares any time you like.

Equity REITS

In theory, these will go on forever. The best buys are usually in older, long-established reits whose underlying value may be much greater than the share price.

Finite-life REITS

These have a specified life of 10 to 15 years, when the properties will be sold and the profit distributed to the shareholders. These are similar to real estate syndicates and limited partnerships, all of which offer you the benefits of owning real estate, but without the burden of managing the property and the potential liabilities of an owner.
