REITs allow individuals to invest in a diversified portfolio of properties without having to physically own them. This provides a lower-risk investment option, with the potential for higher returns. Additionally, REITs offer a higher level of liquidity, making it easier for investors to buy and sell their shares.
The panelists also discussed the benefits of REITs in terms of professional management, transparency, and regulatory compliance. With REITs, investors can be assured of a well-managed investment portfolio, with regular updates on performance and returns.
While traditional real estate investments will always have an emotional value attached to them, REITs are providing a more attractive option for investors who want to make informed decisions based on market trends and data.
