REITs are Real Estate Investment Trusts, designed in 1960 giving small investors a chance to own shares of commercial real estate. They are a basket of real estate properties, which can be bought and sold on the stock market like more traditional stocks.  Decades after the creation of REITs, people with limited funds, who could benefit most from REITs still are unfamiliar with REITs and how they work.  REIT BALL was designed to change that.  Our mission is to reach millions of new and aspiring real estate investors with limited funds and share real estate and REIT lessons through an entertaining platform.  We draft portfolios, similar to fantasy league, assign individual REITs to professional athletes, and each week discuss the REIT and real estate market, as well as, sport current events.  So, if you're newer to real estate, or "balling" on a budget, we would love to have you become a REIT Baller and hopefully empower you to one day soon own a commercial real estate portfolio through publicly-traded REITs.

Founder and co-host, M Glad, surveyed people for over a year and was shocked to find out how very few people were aware of REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and how they worked.  And so REIT Ball was created!  He aligned his life experiences with purpose and the passion to serve others.  With the help of his co-hosts and sports brother, Spurlock, an entertaining, yet powerful real estate podcast was born to help new investors and aspiring real estate owners gain information and access to the most affordable, transparent, and regulated real estate investment vehicle publicly available. REIT Ball is for entertainment, educational and informational purposes only and is not designed to give any specific investment advice.  The podcast is a great foundation for the audience to build upon to invest in and own real estate while remaining in full control of your money.In this REIT Ball episode, we progress in our REIT discussion, explaining the mechanics of a REIT, what that means for you as an investor and how you can earn income through REITs.
