Most REITs are not ideal “forever” holdings. A few REITs have rare long-term compounding potential. Three unique landlords could keep growing for decades.
April 2026 delivered another major milestone for the portfolio. We posted an insane 80% year-over-year increase. In April 2026, I received $1,742.78 in dividend income compared to $968.18 in April 2025. Looking beyond just April, the full 2026 dividend income picture continues to trend dramatically ahead of 2025.

American Tower Corporation (AMT) is downgraded to Hold despite solid fundamentals and a historically high 4% dividend yield. Q1-2026 results beat expectations, but guidance raises were largely driven by FX tailwinds rather than core business acceleration.
