I'm a big fan of investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs). These entities have historically paid generous dividends while producing returns as good as the broader market with less volatility. Because I like collecting passive income, REITs make up a sizable portion of my portfolio.
Three REITs I've been loading up on are Realty Income (NYSE: O) , Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW) , and W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) . Here's why they're becoming bigger pieces of my real estate portfolio.
