REIT stands for Real Estate Investment Trust. This is a type of company that receives a special tax advantage avoiding double taxation, as long as certain tests are met pertaining to the types of assets owned. Qualifying assets represent actual real estate or loans related to real estate. REITs can trade on the stock market just like regular c-corporations.
By qualifying as a REIT, a real estate related company can avoid double taxation by distributing to its shareholders at least 90% of their taxable income. In this way, REITs are very much like BDCs and MLPs in that these companies often pay a very high dividend.
