Course Overview

Most people are unaware of what a REIT is, and even fewer understand how it works. Unfortunately, many investment advisors don’t fully understand and explain the advantages and risks of investing in REITs. 

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are a powerful but often misunderstood investment vehicle. For many, the intricacies of REITs remain shrouded in mystery, and even some investment advisors struggle to provide a clear picture of their advantages and risks. In this illuminating course, we aim to demystify REITs and equip individuals with the knowledge needed to make informed investment decisions. From defining what a REIT is and exploring its various types, including Commercial, Residential, and Mortgage REITs, to understanding how they operate and distribute dividends, this course is tailored to provide a comprehensive overview.

This course will explain what a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is, and the advantages and disadvantages of investing in REITs. We will discuss how REITs work and how dividends are paid on REITs. This course is appropriate for anyone considering making an investment in real estate investment trusts for their investment portfolio.

Major topics covered in this course:
  • Reasons for Investing
  • Types of Investments
  • 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax
