REIT Dividends To Invest In

REIT Dividends To Invest In W Darrow Fiedler

Due to current world events, it is hard to blame anyone for being leery about investing in real estate. While investing directly into units may be too risky at present time, there are still creative ways to put some skin in the game.

Namely, there are several REIT stocks that have positioned themselves to handle the pandemic with aplomb.

Here are just a few of the best REITs still churning out sizeable dividends in 2020.

WPC This industrial REIT is known for keeping occupancy rates high during times of economic duress. Sure enough, W.P. Carey has managed to traverse the pandemic virtually unscathed. The key to this success is how they weed out bad tenants in the first place.

Unless a company is built to withstand what the firm calls “distillations in the market,” they won’t be approved to rent anything owned by WPC. The firm has been consistently raising dividend payouts for several years. At the time of writing, shareholders are poised to enjoy a 5.9% yield. It is also highly likely that the dividend will increase further before the next quarterly payments go through.

STOR STORE capital has numerous commercial real estate holdings throughout the country.

They have been able to maintain their 5.9% dividend throughout the pandemic due to their wise choice of retail partners. The firm has invested in essential chains that have seen consistent business despite guidelines urging people to stay inside.

STOR also enjoys a diverse portfolio that expands into 113 unique industries. This has no doubt been paramount in securing their stability in such a tumultuous market.

PLD Prologis is yet another industrial REIT that keeps plugging along without any signs of slowing down. The company has enjoyed explosive dividend growth of 45% in just the last five years. The current price of the stock means that the dividend yield is just 2.3%, but each subsequent payout is likely to increase over time.

Investing in REITs is the best way to get real estate cash flow during these trying times. A stable REIT with a portfolio of essential businesses is the key to collecting steady dividend payouts for the foreseeable future.
