Real Estate provides cashflow, tax benefits, equity building, competitive risk-adjusted returns, and inflation protection on its own. Whether you invest in physical properties or REITs, real estate may help you diversify your portfolio and reduce volatility. Dividends are what got me into investing in REITs, great way to secure the accumulate wealth, I hold AMT, CCI & PSA. $290k in profits made in 2022.
Consistently investing in high quality dividend paying REITs & companies over the long term is a relatively easy strategy to create generational wealth. My "boring" REITs portfolio paid me over $4,000 in dividends last month.
It's time to make high value games! Discounted dividend stocks. Ever grateful to my CFP "Catherine Morrison Evan’’ I now have a six-figure REIT portfolio, which includes, but is not limited to; AMT, SPG & PSA.... I now have 606 shares of AMT which pays dividends of $3800 per year.

How to retire by 40. Step One: Get a high income skill that pays according to your skills not per hour. Step Two: Cut your expenses and live below your means. Step Three: Save and invest most of your money. Shoot for saving 20-50% of your income if possible. But if you can only do 10% then do that. Step Four: Grow your knowledge so that you can do better in personal finance and investing.Step five:Get a Financial advisor(Lucy Maria Koss obviously) Step six: Let time work for you. Start as early as possible, every year makes a huge difference. "The best time to start investing is yesterday, the second best is today."

Only thing not covered was the where and how to buy and examples of current REITs for each of the types. Even better would be to jump into the financials and show us how to analyze 😍
Thanks for the summary. Great to have info like this on RUclips. REITs have gotten a lot more popular lately in the dividend investing community, especially the monthly ones :) Helpful for people to understand the nuances of REITS such as their payout ratios and the tax implications you called out.
Very clear information for new starters, not sure the best time to invest? Currently so many factors of economy is under covid 19, récession, realestate bubble, unemployment etc
what i need to know is, when investing in REITs do i need to fund it monthly or a one time investment that will grow my funds and give dividend payment
i’m currently earning 14 cents per month per share from a stock that i bought for $44. in other words, $20K worth of stock, earn me $63 per month. It’s sort of the equivalent return as buying a $500K house and having rent income minus expenses equal $1,500. So yeah, generally speaking a $20,000 investment in a REIT yields between about $40 to $70 a month in dividends.
and like to answer your question about early retirement income; if the REIT dividends is my only income I would need to invest $1.2million in REITs in order to maintain my current employment income of $3,750/mo. So, if you have $1million, yes a REIT investment would yield a decent monthly paycheck.
Easy to understand. I was looking for a video which can hypothetically compare an investment in REIT vs real estate with all tax benefits in place, to get the real idea of returns.
I'd like to retire with an investment worth atleast $4MILLION and I'm ready to work towards this goal, I've come across investors making as much $75,000 on a monthly basis and I'd like to know what step and guidelines I need to make better profit

As real estate declines in price so goes the REIT, however you still collect the dividend. As the economy recovers the REIT will gain in price. Over the long term REIT's deliver stable income, and has a place as part of a Portfolio. I currently hold 10% as REIT.
"When the overall market is down reits may remain strong". VNQ is the vanguard reit index fund. It was down 75% in the 2007-2009 crash. So were many individual reits.
A rough estimate of down 75% or an exact of down 68.3% doesn't change the statement that reits don't "remain strong" in market downturns. VNQ peaked at around $85 a share in Feb 2007. 2 years later it was at around $24. It took 4 to 6 years (with re-investments) to get back to even and 8 years for VNQ to hit $85 again.

Investment Guru 90% of the profits are passed through to shareholders. If the REIT doesn’t have to pay corporate income, that’s 21% of the profit that’s retained. Since they have to pay out 90% of the profits in dividends, that means shareholders get a larger dividend than they would have with corporate tax
It’s informative, but a lot of the time the presenter stumbles while reading the script. Very distracting. Should have done jump cuts rather than making her read it all in one go.
You have misunderstood. She said at least $800 of the $1000 would be taxable. Thus $200 is not taxable at all and the $800 is taxable at your income tax bracket rate.
2:12 when I see these words "at least 90% taxable income", I see the highway to fraud and loophole. These REIT companies are going to do whatever it takes to lower their taxable income as they would normally do in any business. Except this time, it will at the expense of the investor.
It's business, obviously you don't own a business otherwise you wouldn't be demonizing good American business. Only employees take pride in paying taxes.

what i need to know is, when investing in REITs do i need to fund it monthly or a one time investment that will grow my funds and give dividend payment
More you put in the more you get back. Look up DRIP
If I were to reinvest the dividend back into the REIT, would that still count as Taxable Income? Excellent video!
Yes, it would still count as taxable income, unfortunately.
Yes, because a dividend payout is essentially a forced selling event
Great video loved it. Could I invest REIT enough to live off the dividends every month? I’m 56 looking to retire in about a year
