The biggest thing investors are looking for today is long term payoffs with profit coming along the way. As bond yields have decreased and Treasury bonds are providing close to no real interest, the question remains, "What should I invest in these days?"
One of the most profitable investments today are REIT's. This stands for Real Estate Investment Trusts. These aren't traditional investments that one makes. In fact, it's characterized as an alternative investment. But in the world of yield and dividends, REIT's are one of the best investments out there.
What is an REIT? It is considered a security that just like any other equity that is invested in real estate. The beauty of an REIT is that it is a dividend paying security that is must pay the shareholders. As the real estate market has boomed and rebounded from its lows in the aftermath of the financial crisis, investors are seeing the payoff as dividends are flowing in and real estate prices continue to rise.
The crash of the real estate market made people reluctant to invest in real estate, but REIT's through mutual funds can be a great form of steady income in a rebounding real estate market.
