The 7 Best Dividend Stocks for Monthly Income

Most monthly payers are REITs of some kind – and a good chunk are mortgage REITs, which are facing rising interest rates. Some ETFs also offer monthly distributions, but may not be suitable for investors who see an edge in stock-picking. Still, there are attractive stocks with monthly dividends out there. These 7 dividend stocks also offer strong yields paid monthly – and a bull case for capital appreciation as well...

It’s tough to make this list without Realty Income Corp (NYSE:O). Indeed, when I reviewed the space last year, O stock led off the list as well. Up front, investors need to be aware of the risks in Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:PBT). Like most royalty trusts, PBT owns depleting assets – in this case acreage in Texas’ Permian Basin. EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) has had a rough go of it of late. Indeed, EPR stock is down 26% over the past year. Healthcare REIT LTC Properties Inc (NYSE:LTC) is another stock I recommended last year – and that recommendation has not aged well. Global Net Lease Inc (NYSE:GNL) isn’t perfect. An external management arrangement adds another layer of expense – and risk. Both FFO and the dividend have been relatively flat for years now. As a result, GNL has sold off rather steadily over the past few years. Whitestone REIT (NYSE:WSR) is another high-yielder, yielding 10.75% at the current price. The company owns shopping centers in the Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Phoenix metro areas. Gladstone Land Corp (NASDAQ:LAND) has an interesting business model. The company buys and leases farmland across the U.S.
