It is somewhat similar to a mutual fund in certain respects. It pools money from investors and uses that money to purchase realestate. It then distributes the income from the realestate back to the investors annually. There are many different kinds of realestate trusts. Some invest in apartment buildings, some in strip malls, some in office buildings, some in hospitals, some in hotels, some large malls, and some even in storage sheds. It is different from a mutual fund however in that it invests in hard assets whereas a mutual fund invests in stocks and bonds.

A "trust" is essentially a company. A REIT (real estate investment trust) is a company that invests its assets in real estate. There are a couple of reasons to set it up as a trust. One is because of taxes, and the other is to protect the investors from liability.
For example, suppose you and a number of your friends want to invest in real estate. You could jus tbuy property & hire a property manager. But if you did it that way and something happened -- you might be personally liable. Someone could sue you for damages. But if you set it up as a trust -- they can go after the assets owned by the trust, but can't come after your other assets. It limits your liability.
