Key terms
- REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust)A company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate. Allows investors to earn real estate income without buying property directly. Must pay 90% of income as dividends.
- Real Estate SyndicationA partnership structure where multiple investors pool capital to purchase larger properties than they could afford individually. A sponsor or general partner manages the investment while limited partners provide capital and receive passive income distributions.
- Estate PlanningThe process of arranging how your assets will be distributed after death and making healthcare decisions if you become incapacitated. Includes wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.
- Beneficiary (Estate)A person, organization, or entity designated to receive assets from a will, trust, insurance policy, retirement account, or other financial instrument upon the owner's death. Naming beneficiaries is one of the most important steps in estate planning because beneficiary designations on accounts often override instructions in a will. It is essential to review and update your beneficiaries regularly, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
