A REIT is a company that owns, and in most cases, operates income-producing real estate such as apartments, shopping centers, offices, hotels and warehouses. Some REITs also engage in financing real estate. To qualify as a REIT, a company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income to its shareholders annually. NAREIT is the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. It is the trade association for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies with an interest in the US property and investment markets.
