REITs are companies that own (and often operate) income-producing real estate, such as apartments, warehouses, self-storage facilities, malls, and hotels. Their appeal is simple: The most reliable REITS have a track record for paying large and growing dividends. Still, that potential for growth carries risks that vary depending on the type of REIT.
In North America: Canada, the US, Mexico, Costa Rica only have REITs approach in their real estate markets and economies. In the United States alone, there are 190 Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) with a total market cap of 1.3 trillion USD since the US is the oldest of all countries to create REITs in 1960 as a way for individual investors to own equity stakes in large-scale real estate companies. In the United States, demand for digital-style real estate continues, whether it's in the tower sector or the data center sector.
In Canada, there are 48 REITs with a total market cap of 78.3 billion USD as of September 30, 2019. The growing demands for climate change, hazard risk, and ESG disclosure, both from the regulatory side and from the investor side is the main issue for the REITs in Canada going forward.

REITs are debt heavy by nature
The consequence of legal status is that REITs have a lot of debt. They’re usually among the most indebted companies in the market. However, investors have become comfortable with this situation because REITs typically have long-term contracts that generate regular cash flow — such as leases, which see to it that money will be coming in — to comfortably support their debt payments and ensure that dividends will still be paid out.
