Although dividends are never guaranteed when it comes to investing, holding real estate investment trusts, or REITs, is as close as you’ll ever get to a “guaranteed” payout. That’s because, under law, REITs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Our latest addition to the Best Real Estate Dividend Stocks List is a leading REIT with exposure to commercial properties across the United States. Our pick has increased its dividend for 30 consecutive years, with its most recent increase announced in March. Investors have until Friday, April 28, to capitalize on the strategy to earn its next regular payout of $0.26 per share.

Thanks to its top-tier balance sheet, better access to credit markets than its rivals and a diversified portfolio of commercial companies, our pick is a strong candidate for income investors.
A strong history of dividend payouts is an added bonus.
