So I will say first off that I'm looking at putting a REIT ETF into my IRA, so I understand the dividend/tax benefits of that. From what I've read, REITs seem like a "too good to be true" investment for those focused on income. Additionally, I saw this image recently that showed REITs outperforming all other asset classes over the long term.
My main concern is I've read the dividends can be given as simply a return on capital--is there any way to see how often a REIT does that? I've also read conflicting statements on rising interest rates: A) It makes REITs take on more debt vs B) Rising interest rates is tied to a rising economy so more people will invest in RE.
Would appreciate your insights, thank you.
