A residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) is an investment created by bundling many home loans together and selling slices of the resulting cash flow to investors, who receive portions of the mortgage payments as income. Think of it as a large loaf of loan payments cut into pieces that investors buy; its value and yield depend on homeowners making payments, interest rates, and the health of the housing market, making RMBS a way to earn regular income but with credit and rate risk.

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.

A mortgage-backed security is an investment made by pooling many home loans and selling the right to the borrowers’ monthly payments to investors, so you receive a stream of principal and interest much like collecting payments on a bundle of IOUs. It matters to investors because it provides regular income but carries risks from homeowners missing payments or paying off loans early, and its value moves with interest rates and housing market conditions.
