Hey kids! Did you know that some places where you have fun, like movie theaters and water parks, are owned by special companies called REITs? These companies are like landlords for fun! Recently, because of rising interest rates (think of it like the price of borrowing money going up), the value of some REITs went down, making them a bit cheaper to buy.
- Two REITs, EPR Properties and Easterly Government Properties, are interesting right now.
- EPR owns places like TopGolf and movie theaters. It pays a dividend (like getting a little bit of money back).
- Easterly Government Properties rents buildings to the US government.
| REIT | Dividend Yield | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| EPR | 6.9% | Movie theater industry uncertainty |
| Easterly | 9.9% | Overall market conditions |
