This chapter explores the distinct features of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), focusing on their dividend distributions and management strategies. It also highlights the benefits of dividend ETFs and index funds for investors who prefer a diversified approach to dividend stocks.
Right now, the S&P 500 is paying a paltry 1.3% dividend yield. The only time it’s been lower than that was during the dot-com boom.
