Development firms create a new product, which can be thought of as the “primary market” or generation of new inventory.

There are several types of REITs, including equity, mortgage, and hybrid REITs, and are classified based on how their shares are bought and sold, such as publicly-traded REITs, public non-traded REITs, and private REITs.
