‘Ready to REITire’ is a 5-part video series that is done in collaboration with The Joyful Investors, where our aim is to give those who are new to investing the basics about investing in REITs to generate a steady stream of income through distributions (which is the same as ‘dividends’, but as far as REITs are concerned, they are termed as ‘distributions’.)

In the first part of the video series (for those of you who have missed out, you can check it out here), Hazelle (from The Joyful Investors) and myself shared about what exactly a REIT is, along with some of the advantages of investing in one, and also its limitations.

In today’s video, you’ll learn about 3 things we look at to help us determine whether the REIT is worthy of a place in our investment portfolio:
