Apartments on Street

Priced out of the red-hot housing market? For those unable to afford or unwilling to manage a rental property, there is another way of deriving passive income from real estate investments. Here's a look at nine of the best publicly traded REITs to consider in 2023:

AvalonBay Communities Inc. (ticker: AVB). Like stocks, some REITs with a long-established history of excellent performance and sound fundamentals can be classified as blue-chip. "One blue-chip REIT example would be AvalonBay, which owns a vast portfolio of Class A apartment communities," Littlefield says. It has one of the best track records in the entire REIT sector and has grown its dividend for nearly 30 years in a row. With a market cap of roughly $24 billion, AVB skews toward the large cap side of the real estate sector. AvalonBay currently pays a 3.9% dividend yield.

Realty Income Corp. (O). "REITs are an important investment both for retirement savers and for retirees who require a continuing income stream to meet their living expenses," says McCarthy. A perennial favorite among income investors is the aptly named Realty Income, which actually registered "The Monthly Dividend Company" as a trademark. This REIT belongs to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, which screens constituents for a track record of at least 25 years of consecutive dividend increases. On April 11, Realty Income declared its 634th consecutive monthly dividend to continue its streak. The REIT currently yields 5%.
