REITs give you rental income from premium commercial properties without the hassle of owning, maintaining, or finding tenants.
Concept
REITs give you rental income from premium commercial properties without the hassle of owning, maintaining, or finding tenants.
A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) pools investor money to own and operate income-generating commercial real estate (office parks, malls, warehouses). REITs must distribute 90%+ of rental income as dividends. Listed on stock exchanges, they offer liquidity that physical property doesn't. India has 4 listed REITs. Returns come from dividends (rental yield ~6-7%) + capital appreciation.
हिंदी मेंREIT investor money pool करके commercial real estate (office parks, malls, warehouses) own और operate करता है। 90%+ rental income dividends में बांटनी होती है। Stock exchanges पर listed — physical property जैसी liquidity issues नहीं। Returns: dividends (rental yield ~6-7%) + capital appreciation।
Example
See it in action
Embassy Office Parks REIT owns 43 million sq ft of Grade A office space. If you invest ₹1L, you get ~₹6,500-7,000/year in dividends (6.5-7% yield) plus potential price appreciation. Compare: buying a ₹1 crore commercial unit gives similar yield but needs ₹1 crore upfront + maintenance headaches.
