2 Stocks That Cut You a Check Each Month

While the stocks that pay dividends generally do so on a quarterly basis, there is a select group of companies that pay them out monthly. These companies are often found in the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector, which also happens to be a good place for income investors to find quality companies with high dividend yields. Here are two REITs that income investors might appreciate knowing about, that pay monthly dividends, and that have above-market yields.

Realty Income (NYSE:O) is a Dividend Aristocrat that calls itself The Monthly Dividend Company. This REIT, which focuses on triple-net leases, develops single-tenant stand-alone buildings and enters into long-term leases with solid, financially stable tenants. AGNC Investment (NASDAQ:AGNC) is another REIT with a different business model than Realty Income or most other REITs. While REITs generally invest in properties, AGNC Investment invests in financial assets -- primarily mortgage-backed securities.
