Dividend growth investing benefits from reinvestment strategies; current data shows that DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Plan) participants in high‑yield, high‑growth companies outperform the market by 1.2% annually over the past decade. If you want to start building passive income, consider adding Realty Income, Healthpeak Properties, and EPR Properties to your portfolio. Their growing real estate assets and history of steadily rising monthly dividends make them compelling options for anyone seeking dependable and increasing passive income. Investing in these REITs can help you take the first step toward securing your financial future. Dynex Capital (DX) is another mREIT, this one dealing in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), which are issued by government-sponsored enterprises such as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Ginnie Mae. They’re generally considered “safer” than non-agency mortgages, but they also generally pay lower rates. Mortgage REITs counter this with a hefty dose of leverage. Healthcare dividend growth investing remains a defensive play amid market uncertainties. Pfizer’s recent 2.5% dividend boost, combined with pipeline expansion, aligns with investor demand for recession‑resilient income streams.
