By Mark Davenport 2 August, 2023 2 mins read

There are several different types of REITs. These include hotel and motel REITs; equity REITs; non-tradedREITs; hybrid REITs; and hotel and motel RETs. Let's take a closer look at each one to help you decide what type of investment you should make. These types can also been categorized based on their tax status. Listed below are some of the main differences between each one. Each of these four types has a detailed description.

Equity REITs

There are many benefits of investing in Equity REITs. These funds invest in many REITs. Because the company pays large dividends it makes sense for them to be held in a tax-advantaged bank account. You can also hold REITs in IRAs so that distributions can be delayed for tax purposes. REITs offer diversification and risk reduction. Mutual funds and ETFs allow you to invest with minimal or no effort in REITs.

Non-traded REITs

Non-traded REITs can be an investment option for diversification and professional management. Non-traded REITs can be purchased with a very small capital investment. Non qualified accounts start at $5,000. These companies present significantly higher risk than public REITs. Therefore, it is crucial to read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Hotel & motel REITs

These REITs, which are hotel & motel REITs, are one of the least lucrative real estate asset types. They trade at constant discounts to REIT averages and have outperformed C-Corp counterparts. The margins of 25-30% EBIT are also lower than that of the rest in the real-estate sector. The hotel REITs have been able to manage rising expenses. Their capex requirements are higher than the industry's average of 15%.

Hybrid REITs

While mortgage-focused REITs make most of their income from property, hybrid REITs are not based on real estate, but instead invest in mortgage-backed securities. These hybrid REITs can be used to hedge against the risk of real estate investments. Hybrid REITs combine the benefits of equity and mortgage REITs. They are also less volatile and more liquid than publicly traded REITs. Find out more about hybrid REITs.

Retail REITs

Investors frequently ask this question when they buy retail REITs. Before you invest in any retail real-estate investment trust (REIT), these are the most important questions to ask. Most common answers include net operating income, adjusted funds from operation, and funds from operations. These metrics provide a measure of the operating efficiency and financial performance of retail REITs. Understanding dividend payments can also be aided by funds from operations. Let's examine each of these categories and discover how they can assist you in deciding whether a retail REIT worth investing in.
