What are the most reliable REITs that focus on MFR?

Brad Kremer
Posted

I've owned a REIT (O) for years that has consistently paid a monthly dividend and grown year after year after year. I like the REIT approach to RE investing as a complement to buying my own MFRs and SFRs - it seems like a good way to stay in the industry while growing my capital for the next property purchase.

O has been good, but its emphasis on retail space makes me think it might be more exposed to economic developments (tariffs, increasingly online retail) than good ol' fashioned residential real estate. 

I know of Equity Residential (EQR) and Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA) plus Camden Property Trust (CPT). What others might I be missing? I am wary of anything that is geographically focused on any one part of the country that might be vulnerable to more extreme climate-driven events (i.e., I'm avoiding Florida)
