I want to get into our list of dividend REITs so I’ll explain why that is later along with what to look for in real estate stocks and that best REIT for your portfolio.

Not only does real estate offer high returns and a way to smooth out some of the risks you get in stocks but REITs offer an easy way to invest, trading just like stocks without the tens of thousands you need for a down payment.

As for how much you should invest in dividend REITs, it’s going to depend on how much safety and cash flow you need. I would say at a minimum, maybe ten- to fifteen-percent of your wealth in real estate or REITs. If you want more cash flow or just to diversify your stock portfolio a little more, maybe you go to twenty-five or thirty-percent in REITs while younger investors that want more growth might go with the lower allocation.
