REIT is an acronym for Real Estate Investment Trust. Over the years publicly traded REITs have proven to be rewarding investments. REIT investors benefit from returns generated through ownership of commercial real estate without the drawback of illiquidity or the hassle of being a landlord. Many REITs pay attractive dividends with the potential for growth of capital.

For a quick primer on REITs, Successful Portfolios recommends The Investor’s Guide to REITs, published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.
