REIT - Definition Definition: A security that trades as a stock on the stock exchange, but invests in real estate and/or mortgages. TeenAnalyst Advice:
REIT's are special trusts that receive tax advantages from the government.
They're obligated to pay out 90% or more of their earnings to
investors in the form of dividends so it's not unusual to see a
REIT with a 10-12% dividend.
