3 Top Recommendations for New Investors (6 min read)
This article shares three REITs that are suitable for new investors. They are MAA (MAA), Gladstone Land (LAND), and American Tower (AMT). MAA has demonstrated steady dividend growth since going public in 1994. Liability is less than half of its assets which made them well positioned for bigger investments. It also has a significant holding in Texas and Florida where it’s expected to be more in-demand. LAND is a farmland REIT which is great for diversification since it is not correlated to stocks. It also offers protection against inflation since food prices will keep up with raising costs. AMT specializes in communications infrastructure and has been in business for almost 30 years. It has outperformed the S&P 500 in the last 12 years with an annualized return of 12%. The adoption of cellphones and smartphones has helped the business to grow consistently. More analysis of each REIT is available in this article.
