I'm wondering how REITs perform during economic downturns. Will they still be able to generate stable returns or are they likely to suffer losses just like other investments?

I've heard about REITs and how they can potentially generate income, but I'm skeptical. I want to know if it's really possible to make money from REITs, or if it's just a gimmick.

Great question! So, how exactly do you make money from investing in a REIT, or Real Estate Investment Trust? Well, there are two primary ways. Firstly, you can earn dividends. REITs are required by law to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends. This can provide investors with a steady stream of income, often with higher yields than traditional stocks. Secondly, you can profit from capital appreciation. As the underlying real estate assets held by the REIT increase in value over time, so too does the value of the REIT itself. This can result in share price appreciation, allowing investors to sell their shares for a profit. Of course, there are also risks associated with investing in REITs, such as fluctuations in the real estate market and interest rates. But with careful research and a diversified portfolio, REITs can be a great way to add real estate exposure to your investment portfolio.
