Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

Over the past decade, the relationship between real estate investment trusts (reits) and rental income yield has become a subject of considerable debate among scholars and industry practitioners alike, particularly within the context of Lagos State where operating conditions differ markedly from more developed markets.

Within the context of Lagos State, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of real estate investment trusts (reits) on rental income yield, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

While real estate investment trusts (reits) is widely discussed in policy and industry circles, empirical evidence on its actual effect on rental income yield within Lagos State remains sparse and, in places, contradictory. This lack of localized, rigorous evidence makes it difficult for decision-makers to know with confidence whether current approaches to real estate investment trusts (reits) are helping or hindering rental income yield — a gap this study sets out to close.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

  1. To examine the effect of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) on rental income yield in Lagos State.
  2. To assess the extent to which real estate investment trusts (reits) influences rental income yield within the study area.
  3. To identify the challenges associated with real estate investment trusts (reits) in relation to rental income yield.
  4. To recommend strategies for optimizing real estate investment trusts (reits) in order to improve rental income yield.

1.4 Research Questions

  1. What is the effect of real estate investment trusts (reits) on rental income yield in Lagos State?
  2. To what extent does real estate investment trusts (reits) influence rental income yield within the study area?
  3. What challenges are associated with real estate investment trusts (reits) in relation to rental income yield?
  4. What strategies can be adopted to optimize real estate investment trusts (reits) in order to improve rental income yield?

1.5 Significance of the Study

Beyond its academic contribution to the field of estate management, this study has practical value for management teams within Lagos State seeking to understand how real estate investment trusts (reits) translates into measurable outcomes around rental income yield. It is equally useful to students and future researchers looking for a localized empirical reference on this relationship.

1.6 Scope of the Study

In terms of scope, this study confines itself to Lagos State, focusing specifically on how real estate investment trusts (reits) relates to rental income yield within that setting. Findings are interpreted within these boundaries rather than as universal claims applicable to every organization or market.
