One of the best ways to earn dividend income is via real estate stocks — and more specifically, real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs are publicly traded companies that own and operate income-producing real estate. Investors can participate in the real estate sector through REITs without the knowledge and expertise required to invest directly in real estate.
Passive investors will do well to consider these real estate stocks to buy, since they solve one big problem associated with owning stocks. Attractive dividend income can turn a loss in the stock price into a small gain in total return, whereas with non-dividend stocks, you’re stuck with the loss.
