What is the Difference Between Stocks and REITs?
Think of buying a stock like owning a piece of a business, while buying a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is like owning a piece of income-generating real estate. When you buy a stock, you own a fraction of a company. Your returns depend on the company’s growth, product success, and stock price appreciation.
A REIT is a company that buys, operates, or finances commercial properties like malls, apartments, or warehouses. By law, REITs must pay out at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends. While both trade on stock exchanges, standard stocks generally aim to reinvest profits to grow their share price over time. REITs are designed primarily to generate steady, high-dividend payout income for investors directly from property rentals without having to buy physical real estate yourself.
