A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns and manages income-producing properties—like apartment buildings, shopping centers, offices, or warehouses—and is required to pass most of its rental income to shareholders as dividends. Think of it as a shared property owner: instead of buying a whole building, investors buy a slice of a portfolio that pays regular income and can offer exposure to property values and rental markets without direct management. REITs matter to investors for predictable income, diversification, and liquidity compared with owning physical real estate.
net-leasedfinancial
Net-leased describes a commercial property arrangement where the tenant not only pays rent but also assumes some or all ongoing property costs such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance. For investors, this setup is like leasing out a house where the renter also pays the utilities and yard work: it usually produces steadier, more predictable income and shifts operating cost and vacancy risk away from the landlord, affecting valuation and return expectations.
net leasesfinancial
Net leases are rental agreements where the tenant not only pays rent but also covers some or all property expenses such as taxes, insurance and maintenance, shifting ongoing costs away from the landlord. For investors, net leases are important because they typically produce steadier, more predictable income with lower landlord responsibilities—like collecting rent from a tenant who also pays the bills—but they can concentrate risk if the tenant vacates or defaults.
cap ratefinancial
The cap rate is a way to estimate how much money a real estate investment might generate relative to its purchase price. Think of it as a measure of the property's annual income divided by its value, helping investors compare different properties quickly. A higher cap rate generally indicates a potentially higher return but may also come with more risk.
