Well, a REIT is a residential investment trust, meaning that 75% of its assets need to be held in a real estate arena, and 90% of its income needs to be distributed to its shareholders on an annual basis.
An mREIT is a REIT that has assets in mortgage backed securities (MBS), which are pools of mortgages that are combined into investment securities, then sold to investors.
A leveraged mREIT uses the securities that it purchases from funds gained from its IPO and various secondary offerings as collateral to enter into short term repurchase agreements with financial institutions. These repos, as they are known, allow the mREIT to purchase more MBS to add to its portfolio. This leveraging process means that the coupon payments recieved from its holdings are increased by however much the firm is leveraged. So if the firm gets an average coupon of 3%, but is levered 6x, it actually earns 18%. Now, to get your profit, you take your levered yield (18%) and subtract your cost of the repos (around 1.5-2%).
A hybrid mREIT is able to invest in both agency and non-agency RMBS. Agency RMBS is backed by the government, and offers more safety for lower yield, and non-agency offers higher yield for less safety as it has no backing.
There are sevearl risks associated with mREITs, namely prepayment and default risk.
