REITs - businesses that own, operate, develop or manage real estate - are a good way to generate yield that’s typically higher than bonds. Retail investors can pick from traded REITs, which trade on public stock exchanges and non-traded REITs.

Traded Vs. Non-Traded REITs: It's important to understand the differences in trading and ownership between traded and non-traded REITs before deciding which investment opportunity will be best for you.

Like publicly traded REITs, anyone can buy a public non-traded REIT. However, they typically lock up investors’ capital for multiple years. They also have high minimum investments, which can make them less accessible for retail investors.

While non-traded REITs often have more stringent rules than their publicly traded counterparts, non-traded REITs come with a few advantages. The longer holding period for non-traded REITs lets management focus on long-term strategy. As a result, they may have higher dividends and overall higher returns than traded REITs.

How To Buy Non-Traded REITs: There are multiple options available to purchase public non-traded REITs. RealtyMogul offers a few opportunities for investors that offer attractive dividends.
