It Pays Dividends To Own REITs

Summary

• Historically speaking, REITs have offered higher dividend yields than other equities with similar risk profiles thanks to their cash-flow-oriented business models.
• Not to mention the inflationary nature of the property and leases they operate under.
• Those positive price movements must, by law, lead to higher dividend payouts doled out to in-the-know investors like you and me.

There’s something about putting money into a stock and watching it quickly climb in price.

Something about buying up shares of a company at $32.71 and watching it climb to $39.25 in six months… then reach $62.15 eight months later… and hit $104.48 six years in.

Who doesn’t want that kind of action for their portfolio?

Who doesn’t want better?

Like how about all those lucky stiffs who said to themselves back in mid-2004, “You know what? I think I’m going to invest in Apple” (AAPL). Before that point, it couldn’t trade over five dollars – and it usually couldn’t trade over $2.

Yet today, it’s hard to think of Apple as anything but a powerhouse player on the Nasdaq. Despite its stock setbacks in the last year, a single share is still worth more than $180.

If we’re being honest with ourselves, every investor at least daydreams about getting in early on buying up “the next big thing,” whatever the next big thing may be. We crave that kind of profit because we want that kind of financial security: the ability to say…

• Mortgage paid off? No problem. That’s done.
• Complete college funds for the kids? Check.
• All-expenses-included retirement plan in place? Tahiti, Patagonia and Sydney, here we come.

But how many of you close your eyes and wistfully contemplate financial security by way of dividend-yielding REITs?

Because that kind of profit is a lot easier to obtain. And you don’t need a spyglass into the future to know which ones to select and which ones not to.

You’ve got the past and the present readily available to provide you with a pretty solid roadmap to success…and not just a roadmap, but a REIT Roadmap!
