Top-performing Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) include Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (GLPI), Ladder Capital Corp (LADR), and Whitestone REIT (WSR), which exhibit robust prospects despite the broader market uncertainties.
REITs own and often operate income-producing real estate, such as apartments, warehouses, self-storage facilities, malls, and hotels, with a track record for paying stable dividends. A mandate to pay a minimum of 90% of their taxable income as dividends make them reliable and attractive to long-term income investors.
