If you're not familiar with real estate investment trusts, or REITs, they're companies that invest in real estate assets -- either properties or mortgages -- with the intention of generating income from those assets to distribute to shareholders.

Realty Income (NYSE:O) invests primarily in freestanding retail properties and has raised its dividend 93 times since 1994.
