Steve Liesman: Fed Pivots to Inflation Fight Under Incoming Chair Warsh
REITs are finally rallying after a brutal 5-year bear market. The main bear arguments are now starting to break down. Private equity is already buying before valuations recover.
Apartment REITs benefit from rising mortgage rates and affordability constraints, as more households are forced to rent rather than buy. Supply pressures in multifamily are easing, with construction starts slowing and absorption now exceeding new deliveries, setting up for improved fundamentals.

An attractive current yield, consistent dividend growth, and a monthly payout cadence make for an ideal passive income machine for retirement. I detail 2 of my favorite monthly paying dividend growth machines that combine attractive yields with consistently strong dividend growth.

Most REITs are not ideal “forever” holdings. A few REITs have rare long-term compounding potential. Three unique landlords could keep growing for decades.

The investing landscape has changed in recent weeks. Here are investments to consider now.
There are several different paths to retiring on dividends. However, they all have major drawbacks. I share an approach that I have honed over time that seeks to bring out the best of each strategy and minimize its deficiencies.
Surging oil prices and hotter inflation reports reignited rate-hike concerns, sending Treasury yields to one-year highs as the Iran conflict remained stalemated despite the highly anticipated Trump-Xi summit.

REITs are undervalued and out-of-favor compared to AI-driven tech stocks, creating a contrarian opportunity. Rising construction costs are constraining new supply, increasing the value and pricing power of existing REIT portfolios. Multiple REITs, including AH REALTY TRUST, Chiron Real Estate, Piedmont Realty Trust, and Healthpeak Properties, report higher replacement costs and favorable re-leasing spreads.
The ALPS REIT Dividend Dogs ETF (NASDAQ:RDOG) is a concentrated bet that the highest-yielding real estate trusts in each property sub-sector deserve a spot in your income portfolio.

A $500,000 rental property can generate meaningful monthly cash flow, but the net amount depends heavily on rent, financing, taxes, insurance, repairs, vacancies, and management costs. A $500,000 REIT basket offers a different version of real estate income: publicly traded shares, professional management, daily liquidity, and no direct landlord duties. The tradeoff is that the...

U.S. equity markets advanced for a fifth straight week - their longest winning streak since 2024 - as strong earnings, resilient data, and hopes for lasting Iran peace fueled optimism. Investors looked through another oil-price surge and inflationary pressure, focusing instead on corporate resilience and economic strength despite a complex macro backdrop shaped by geopolitical and policy uncertainty. The Fed held rates steady in an unusually fractured 8-4 vote, while Powell's plan to remain on the Board broke precedent and raised politically charged succession questions.
Some of the cheapest REITs are in sectors hit by temporary oversupply. Storage and life science stand out as especially discounted today. Patient investors may find rare long-term upside in the selloff.

Most 10% yielding REITs are traps, but a few still look compelling. Strong balance sheets and better coverage can make some high yields safer than they appear. Deep discounts and improving outlooks could create major upside if sentiment turns.
I focus on deploying capital into durable, income-producing securities with tangible yields to accelerate portfolio dividend compounding. REITs theoretically offer decent yields, inflation protection, and resiliency, making them attractive for income-focused investors.
