By: Robert Shumake | - Before you panic and think you should run the other way from REITs and real estate mutual funds you need to look at these a little differently.

By: Robert Shumake | - One mistake many new investors make is not allowing their money to continue to grow by reinvesting. While those dividends may not seem like a lot up front, they can add up quickly and grow if you put them back into the system.
Consider this. If you were to put $100,000 into a REIT or real estate mutual fund to purchase 100 shares and it sent out a 10% dividend check that would be a check for $10,000 the first year. You could either spend that and be back at the base of $100,000 or put it ...
