I'm 99% REITs and I'm only a few basis points off the S&amp;P 500 since I started trading back in February, with the added benefit of comfy dividends every month. Almost as good as having your own rental property with .001% of the work. LTC, GOOD, and EPR are some solid monthly div payers to look into. They're also taxed as ordinary income instead of dividend income which is nice if you're in a low tax bracket like most of us here.

 What does this even mean? Dividends can be qualified or non qualified. Qualified dividends are treated the same as long term capital gains, non qualified are treated as regular income. Long term capital gains is better.
