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.
