Real estate investment trusts (REITs) offer compelling opportunities for investors looking to supplement their monthly income. REITs own, operate or finance income-generating real estate, allowing individuals to invest in various real estate types without having direct ownership or management responsibilities.
REITs must also distribute a large percentage of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends, often resulting in hefty yields.
