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.

Fitch Ratings downgraded the US Federal Government from AAA to AA+, causing the stock market to roil. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have fared better than tech stocks in the day after the downgrade announcement, as REITs were already relatively cheap. While the downgrade itself is virtually meaningless, it does spur us to look at the US Government's finances.

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.

REITs are often touted as being stable investments with inflation hedging properties. Using VNQ as a our guide, we asses whether REITs are still justified in today's portfolios as an inflation hedge. Ultimately, we suggest investors avoid VNQ as the portfolio benefits are not enough to overcome the costs.

Although multifamily housing starts and permits have increased sharply, the supply-demand picture remains favorable for apartment REITs.
