What Is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)?

A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a company that owns, finances, or operates income-producing real estate by pooling capital from multiple investors. REITs allow investors to participate in large-scale real estate investments without directly purchasing or managing properties.

REIT portfolios often include:

Apartment Communities
Commercial Office Buildings
Shopping Centers
Hotels and Resorts
Industrial Warehouses
Healthcare Facilities
Mixed-Use Developments
Self-Storage Facilities

REITs offer attractive tax advantages but must comply with specific IRS requirements to maintain their favorable tax status.

Common IRS Requirements for REIT Qualification

To qualify as a REIT, an entity generally must:

Be organized as a corporation, trust, or association
Be managed by a board of directors or trustees
Have at least 100 shareholders
Ensure that five or fewer individuals do not own more than 50% of shares during the latter half of the taxable year
Distribute at least 90% of taxable income annually as dividends
Invest at least 75% of total assets in real estate, cash, or U.S. Treasury securities
Derive at least 75% of gross income from real estate-related sources

Failure to satisfy these requirements can result in significant tax consequences and loss of REIT status.
