I know what a REIT is. Maybe you could explain how rental income is spinning off 15% cash a year? Do you think real estate is a magic industry that returns 15% annually, unabated? Why are these friendly real-estate developers sharing that money with you?

That is just how REITs are structured. They are investment vehicles designed to pay out dividends to their investors that come from rental income.
