<\/span>REITs that Pay Monthly Dividends to Investors<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
$\"REITs\"$ <\/p>\n
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have long been a popular source of dividends for income investors. Most REITs make dividend payments on a quarterly basis. However, some REITs distribute dividends to shareholders each month instead, aligning with the needs of investors who desire more frequent cash flow.<\/p>\n
This comprehensive guide explores the world of monthly dividend paying REITs, how their dividend schedule works, the benefits monthly dividends offer, criteria for selecting quality monthly REITs, and detailed examples of specific REITs that make monthly income payouts across the residential, commercial, specialty, and mortgage sub-sectors of the REIT universe.<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/span>How Do REIT Dividends Work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
REITs are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income annually to shareholders in the form of dividends. This high payout requirement is what produces the relatively high dividend yields that REITs are known for.<\/p>\n
Most REITs pay dividends quarterly, in line with<\/a> the calendar quarters. Some examples of quarterly paying REITs include giants like Realty Income (O), Prologis (PLD), and American Tower (AMT).<\/p>\n
However, some REIT choose to pay dividends monthly instead. The aggregate amount of the monthly dividend rate over a year will typically achieve (or exceed) the 90% taxable income distribution requirement.<\/p>\n
Monthly REIT dividends allow investors to compound their returns faster through more frequent reinvestment. It also aligns with the needs of investors who desire a steady stream of dividend income.<\/p>\n
