When you buy a bond, you're lending money to the company or government that issued it. In return, the issuer agrees to pay interest at a stated rate and to repay your principal according to the bond's terms.
A stock is a share of ownership, and its value rises and falls with the market. A bond is a contract: its income is set in advance rather than forecast. That's why pension funds and insurers rely on bonds for predictable income.
CREB bonds pay a stated 8.50% APY, credited daily, from a portfolio of real estate loans and Treasuries. They have a $10 face value and no fixed maturity, so you can request a withdrawal when you need your money.
CREB bonds are investments, not bank deposits. They are not FDIC insured, and you could lose money, including principal.
