Healthcare REITs, or Real Estate Investment Trusts, are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate in the healthcare sector. They typically invest in properties like hospitals, nursing facilities, and senior living communities. By pooling funds from multiple investors, these REITs provide a way for individuals to invest in healthcare real estate without directly purchasing properties. These REITs generate revenue primarily through leasing properties to healthcare providers, which can offer stable cash flows. Investors benefit from potential dividends and capital appreciation, while also contributing to the growth of the healthcare infrastructure, addressing the needs of an aging population and evolving healthcare demands.
