3 Stocks That Will Help Pay for My Son's College

My son is almost 2, and my wife and I are already all-in on saving for college. So far, we've put most of his college fund into shares of growth companies that he interacts with: toy companies, streaming media companies, and stores that he likes to ride around the cart in. But recently, we decided it was time to start adding a little diversification to his portfolio with real estate stocks.

The stocks we'll add should provide some dividend income, but because this is a tax-free brokerage account, we'll just be reinvesting those payouts. What we're really looking for is diversification with some growth. And to get it, we've chosen two REITS -- New Residential (NYSE: NRZ) and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW) -- and online real estate marketplace Zillow Group (NASDAQ: Z)(NASDAQ: ZG).
