As a dividend growth investor focused on income, I recommend raising cash and selling lower-quality stocks due to potential recession risks. Historical data shows that rate cuts often precede recessions, making it prudent to increase cash positions and reduce exposure to vulnerable stocks. Despite some reasonable buying opportunities, I prefer holding cash in ETFs like SGOV for liquidity and safety during uncertain economic times.

There is a minority of REITs that check all the boxes. High yield, steady growth, lower risk, and upside potential. I discuss 2 such REITs that most investors should consider.

Real estate companies are doing relatively well as many of them continue navigating the much-talked about wall of maturities well and as the Federal Reserve points to interest rate cuts. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) surged to a high of $97.2 on Wednesday, 42% above its lowest level in 2023.

This series will focus on REITs suitable for pre-retirees, addressing diversification and Buffett's "punch card" rule, emphasizing careful asset selection. Diversification is crucial for most investors, despite Buffett's advice; it mitigates risks from inevitable investment mistakes and balances portfolios. W. P. Carey, Brixmor Property, and Alexandria Real Estate are recommended REITs, each with strong fundamentals, growth potential, and strategic advantages.

US manufacturing is in a recession, exacerbated by tariffs and global supply chain disruptions, with consumer spending and global demand also weakening. The labor market is softening, with job openings and hiring slowing, but layoffs remain stable, indicating potential recession risks. The inverted yield curve's un-inversion signals an impending recession, though the 10-year minus 3-month spread hasn't yet un-inverted.

Diversification is crucial; owning at least 10 REITs minimizes risk, but thorough research on each stock is essential to avoid significant losses. Alexandria Real Estate, Invitation Homes, Ladder Capital, and EastGroup Properties are rated as Buys due to their strong financials, growth prospects, and solid dividend yields. Alexandria Real Estate excels in life science properties, Invitation Homes in single-family rentals, Ladder Capital in mortgage loans, and EastGroup Properties in industrial real estate.

Rates down, REITs up? Two years of persistent rate-driven pressure on residential and commercial real estate markets appears to finally be abating as the worst of pandemic-era inflationary pressures subside. Since the "pivot' in early July, the REIT Index has outpaced the S&P 500 by 10 percentage points. Despite this rebound, REITs still have 35 percentage points of "catch-up" to do. REITs aren't quite as "cheap" now as they were at the end of June, but that's not such a bad thing: premium equity valuations are the "fuel" for REITs' external growth.
