As Congress prepares to vote on a final tax reform bill, I thought it would be valuable to provide readers with my top 10 REITs that should be the biggest beneficiaries in 2018. Just a few days ago, I wrote an article titled, Why Real Estate Investors Can Sleep Well At Night, Thanks To President Trump(received just under 600 comments) and I explained,
“… the proposed Tax Bill is going to provide massive benefits for ALL Americans, not just wealthy real estate investors. The REIT laws were structured to benefit ALL Americans, providing a vehicle for them to invest in high quality real estate that produces durable sources of dividend income.”
Withstanding the new tax ruling in which REIT dividends and other pass-through entities get a tax cut (from 39.6% to 29.6%) – a 25% pay raise – the Tax Bill will also provide corporations substantial benefits that will create a “goldilocks environment” for stocks, per CNBC. (For related reading, see: Trump's Tax Reform Plan.)
