Real Estate Investment Trusts "REIT'S" Types and Categories |
| The topic of REIT's is a very large and broad topic. As such we have divided the site into various pages for ease of devouring the subject matter. As always we do NOT do a total analysis for these REIT's on line---we believe that REIT's in general are better than High Yield Savings Accounts, but you must do your research. REIT Master List (Under Reconstruction) REIT Defined and Short discussion Specifically we deal with the following categories of REIT's (Click on the category heading for a category company list instead of the larger master list) Retail These companies own items such as free standing retail space, shopping malls or strip malls. _______ Residential/Apartment/Manufactured Home Parks More often than not these are REIT's that hold apartment properties. There are a limited number of REIT's that own the land under manufactured homes. These REIT's may also offer limited services to residents of the park (such as limited groceries or gasoline stations) _______ Commercial/Industrial These companies hold properties that would be leased to organizations that need light or heavy manufacturing space _______ Hotel/Motel These of course are self explanatory--these companies hold hotels and motels of any number of sizes and shapes. _______ Financial and Mortgage These companies typically provide financing for mortgages, bridge loans, construction loans or any number of other financing arrangements. They DO NOT outright own real estate (except through possible foreclosures etc) _______ Healthcare These companies may own anything related to healthcare. It could be something as large as a hospital to something as small as a local doctor's office. _______ REIT ETF's As the category name implies these are exchange traded funds that invest in only REITS. |
