Real Estate Securitization can be divided into two types. One is “Real Estate Asset Trust”, which the trustee (the owner of the property) transfers its own property to the trustee institution firstly, and then the trustee institution raises the capital from the investors. The other is “Real Estate Investment Trust”, which the trustee institution raises capital from the investors firstly, and then uses the capital to invest in income-producing properties. Although these two types of real estate securitization are completely different in manner, the real estate capital can be activated with both manners effectively for the purpose of making more money. Otherwise, due to the burst of the subprime mortgage crisis in U.S. recently, a dramatic drop occurred in the global stock market as well as in the products of real estate investment trust with stabilized income and lower risk. Therefore, this study will focus on the effect on “Mortgage-Backed Securities of Subprime Mortgage” and “Real Estate Investment Securitization” after the burst of the subprime mortgage crisis. Moreover, this study will emphasize on the variation trend and variation range of the return on real estate investment trust. In this study, variables affecting the return on real estate investment trust are divided into two types. One is the macroeconomic factors, including Consumer Confidence Index, unemployment rate, monetary aggregate, and interest rate. The other is the factors regarding the subprime mortgage in U.S., including housing starts and transaction in privately owned new housing unit.
