Dividend stocks are a great way to pad your wallet with cash flow that can help offset the effects of inflation while also providing the opportunity for capital appreciation in the form of a rising share price.
Of course, you need to pick stocks that have the experience and business models to reliably generate the cash they need to fund that flow of passive income. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are a good sector to turn to in that regard, with their obligation to return at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders.
Not all REITs are created equal, of course, so I want to share here some information on two I own and why. They are Agree Realty (NYSE: ADC) and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW)
