Real estate can be one of the best ways to hedge against inflation, but buying and selling property, houses, businesses or other real-world real estate is impractical for many smaller investors.
Fortunately, there are plenty of real estate sector stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) that investors can buy to make buying real estate quick, easy and cheap. Many of these real estate stocks also pay sizable dividend yields, especially REITs, which must legally distribute 90% of income to investors.
