Larger REITs have outperformed small- and mid-sized REITs in the last five years, thanks partially to their concentration in high-growth sectors. Modestly leveraged REITs can still grow their bottom-line profits even with rapidly rising interest expenses because revenue is growing as well. I highlight five high-quality, larger market cap REITs that are currently trading at reasonable (or better-than-reasonable) valuations. I'm buying for the long haul.

REITs and BDCs are complementary assets that work well together in a dividend-focused portfolio. REITs are borrowers of debt, while BDCs are lenders of debt. Rising interest rates benefit BDCs and are a headwind for REITs, while falling interest rates have the opposite effect.

Real estate investment trusts offer steady dividend payments and are often considered "boring" compared to tech-focused companies.

I own 18 individual REITs and believe that all of them are great real estate businesses with strong growth prospects. I'd argue that diversification is not the main goal of owning multiple REITs, but rather conviction in each individual company. That said, if I could only own a handful of REITs, there are some truly top-tier, best-in-class names that I could narrow it down to if I had to.

Cell Tower REITs have been the weakest-performing property sector since the start of 2022 - lagging even the battered office sector - amid a telecommunications industry-wide slump inflamed by tight monetary conditions. Cellular carriers have curbed their capital-intensive network expansion plans in recent quarters following a significant wave of investment and tower equipment upgrades from 2019-2022 to deploy nationwide 5G networks. The latest selloff was intensified by an expose alleging that century-old abandoned phone lines owned by AT&T and Verizon are leaching toxic lead into drinking water, potentially requiring costly remediation.
