Equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to be much more common than mortgage REITs. They earn their money through rental income from purchasing commercial real estate properties.

Investing in an equity REIT gives an investor the ability to add real estate to their portfolio without purchasing the properties themselves.

Because these companies generate revenue by collecting rents, it makes forecasting future income easier, since rents tend to increase over time. Delve deeper into these two equity REITs offering steady yields, as macroecnomic headwinds remain in question.
