Two Real Estate Stocks To Consider
Everyone wants to get into real estate but that can be very expensive. There is an alternative to actually buying up property and having to maintain them. I have two real estate stocks to consider that will help you gain real estate exposure without actually having to own the properties.
Realty Income (O) and NNN Reit Inc (NNN) are two real estate stocks that are the most part pretty identical. They both offer dividends above 6% and offer 25+ years of dividend payouts. They both have strong portfolios and consistently performed well over time. Check out the article and happy investing.

Which Should You Buy?
Honestly, both of these companies are a good buy. Either one will suit your financial goals and needs. For myself, I have shares with both companies as they both perform well and pay a good dividend. I do prefer O to NNN however since O pays out monthly compared to NNN which is quarterly. You will make more money with O.
With that said, either option is good. Consider yourself in a good spot if you add one of these stocks to your dividend portfolio.
