REIT's..........?

[Gilbert B.]

Hello Bigger Pocket Users,

I been here reading on this forum for some while.
I found out about REIT's some time ago, and I like the fact how you can invest in it and collect monthly dividends.

I seen some videos titled such as "reits vs etc"

It always comes to the point when people will say something like "with reits, I dont have to hassle with real estate, I just collect my dividends each month"

Well I just turned 19 and I was wondering if investing in reits since I have little money would be a good idea.

Say...if I was to invest in an REIT just for monthly cashflow then is reits good for long term casflow?

I have heard about Realty Income Trust "O" hence on its website it says "We have a 42 year old track record of providing dependable monthly income, generated by a portfolio of 2,500 under long term leases."

I guess what I am trying to say is, if you were to invest in an REIT, will you get monthly dividend income [depending on how much shares you buy] for the rest of your life? :idea:

Im also guessing that you wont be getting the same amount of cash from checks because of the value of the reit stock changes right?
