REITs or real estate investment trusts have been around since 1960. REITs allow investors to invest in real estate without direct ownership. This investment vehicle can be simple or incredibly complicated. Many people are attracted to the high current dividends. There can also be an illusion of safety because the mortgages used in some REITs are back by the US Government. In today's show, I discuss the opportunities REITs offer.

Today's discussion includes Annaly Capital Management, Starwood Property Trust, AGNC Investment Corp., Two Harbors Investment, and PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust.
