Real estate investment trusts (REITs) offer investors a compelling opportunity. REITs own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate, allowing individuals to invest in various types of real estate without having direct ownership or management responsibilities.

REITs are also required to distribute a large percentage of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends, making them a popular choice for investors seeking income.

If you want exposure to real estate or are an income-seeking investor, here are three quality REITs you could buy today.

The Arrived Homes Private Credit Fund, provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with a target 7% to 9% net annual yield paid to investors monthly. The best part? Unlike other private credit funds, this one has a minimum investment of only $100.
