Only 1 Top REIT is Built for Long-Term Returns

Only one of the top two REITs, National Retail Properties (NNN) and Realty Income (O), has a strong track record of paying consistent dividends for generations. NNN has paid uninterrupted dividends since 1986, while O has paid uninterrupted dividends since 1969. Both companies have a long history of stable dividend payments, but NNN's consistent payments make it a more attractive option for investors seeking a reliable income stream.
