Warren Buffett isn't known for being a big real estate investor, but he has invested in real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the past and reaped significant rewards. For instance, Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK) used to own shares of STORE Capital Corp., a REIT specializing in single-tenant operational real estate (STORE). In September 2022, STORE Capital announced that it would be acquired by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and Oak Street in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $14 billion. Shares soared 20% on the news. Berkshire exited its position in STORE Capital in 2022.
