Many people overlook REITs as investments because they’re boring. But as a long-term investor looking to create passive income & build your wealth, boring is good.
REITs were created by Congress in 1960 to give investors access to real estate. And by law they’re required to pay out 90% of their taxable income in dividends.
People use REITs every day. That office building where you work could be owned by a REIT like Kilroy Realty Corp (KRC).
That shopping center where you buy groceries could be owned by a REIT like Dividend King Federal Realty Trust (FRT).
That hospital or medical building could be owned by REITs like Medical Properties Trust (MPW) or Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI) .
That apartment building you live in could be owned by Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA). That casino & hotel you like to vacation to in Las Vegas is likely owned by VICI Properties (VICI).
Companies like Amazon (AMZN), Starbucks (SBUX), & Walmart (WMT) rarely own their buildings and real estate, they rent them.
This how REITs make money, by collecting rent just like you pay to your landlord or apartment complex.
You order online from Amazon?
A cell tower owned by a REIT like American Tower (AMT) gave you cell service access.
A data center REIT like Digital Realty Trust (DLR) owns the data centers that processed the data & transaction.
The industrial warehouse owned by a REIT like Prologis (PLD) that Amazon (AMZN) pays rent to receive the order to ship it.
This is how you have to start thinking if you want to be a successful investor.
Happy Investing!

The point about REITs being boring is what makes them so apealng for building wealth. Most people overlook the fact that they're literaly invested in the infrastructure around us every day. The 90% payout requirement is what makes them such reliable income generators, and it's something a lot of novice investrs don't fully understand when they first start.
