What is a REIT IPO
A REIT is a company that allows investors to invest in units of real estate assets. In this, the investors do not own any physical property, but they get a share in the earnings from that property. In REIT IPO, the company raises money from people and institutional investors just like a normal IPO. The funds raised through this IPO are used on real estate projects and the share of profits from that project goes to the investors who invest in it every year. Also, investors get the benefit of increasing the value of the property. That is, when companies bring an IPO to raise funds for the development or construction of a real estate property, they are called REIT IPO.
