Our First Kodak Moment

It was a beautiful spring day when my sister dropped by for a visit. All the men were out doing manly things, so we decided to have our spring outting and packed a picnic lunch. We took my 4 yr. old daughter to Maymont Park in Richmond. My daughter, Megan was bursting with excitement because she had been begging to go, so we set out on our adventure. We found a beautiful tree spread our blanket out and ate lunch watching the other familys play catch and fly kites.

As we were packing up, Megan wanted to play but there wasn't much for her to do while we cleaned up. So we decided to let her make her own first "Kodak Moment", I handed her my camera and with a little instruction, she was off...taking pictures of the trees, people, fountains anything and everything was subject to her lense that afternoon. Fortunately my sister had her camera along so I was able to capture my own "Kodak Moment" in the pure delight on her face as she ran around and recorded all the sites.

We went on to explore the zoo, the historical buildings, the waterfall, gardens and walking paths of the beautiful Maymont Park (which if you haven't visited you should put on your to do list)....she wouldn't let go of the camera as she clicked away. She has sense grown into her own digital camera, that she never misses the opportunity to point and click, always hoping for the perfect "Kodak Moment".

Commonly asked questions about REITs and Real Estate Mutual Funds are answered during a recent interview

Phoenix, AZ - REITbuyer.com is a newly launched site for investors to get information about real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs were established by US Congress in the 1960s to allow individuals and families to be involved in large-scale investment opportunities. "Access to these investment opportunities was limited to wealthy individuals and institutions before Congress became involved," said Earl E Bird, III, spokesperson for REITbuyer.com.

The first question asked was "What are REITs?" "Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are corporations that primarily own and usually operate income-producing real estate including hotels, commercial office buildings, rental homes, apartment complexes, etc...REITs may also finance real estate and many have their shares traded on major stock exchanges," explained Earl.

Earl also explained the requirements a corporation must comply with in order to be considered a REIT. "According to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Tax Code, a REIT is required to pay, annually, at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of shareholder dividends. A REIT must be managed by a board of directors or trustees and have a minimum of 100 shareholders. They must invest at least 75% of the REIT's total assets in real estate assets and their shares must be fully transferable.

Earl also discussed the different types of REITs available today. "Right now, there are nearly 200 publicly traded REITs in the US according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts with a combined market value of nearly $400 Billion. Shares of REITs are being traded on major stock exchanges daily, which make them different from traditional real estate."

REITs are considered to be a good investment for diversifying your portfolio and reducing financial risk. REITs dividends come from the rent paid by those who occupy the REITs properties, which is considered to be a fairly stable revenue stream. Because rental rates tend to increase during periods of inflation, REIT dividends are usually protected from the negative effect of rising prices.
