Real estate stocks sometimes get an "income investors only" rap. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are the most popular way to invest in real estate, and they typically pair low growth with high dividends.
REITs are required to pay out 90% of their net income as dividends. Though that usually means they have a high dividend, it also means they can only grow by taking on debt or selling more shares and diluting existing shareholders. But REITs aren't the only real estate stocks.
Zillow Group (NASDAQ: ZG) (NASDAQ: Z) , CBRE Group (NYSE: CBRE) , and Howard Hughes Corp. (NYSE: HHC) aren't REITs but still benefit from the same headwinds -- and may benefit a little more with their focus on growth, not dividends.
