A number of REITs pay monthly dividends instead of quarterly. If you want steady monthly cash flow, these are some of the better:

Realty Income — large net-lease REIT, often considered the best-known monthly dividend REIT.
STAG Industrial — industrial/logistics properties.
LTC Properties — senior housing and healthcare real estate.
EPR Properties — experiential real estate such as entertainment venues.
AGNC Investment Corp. — mortgage REIT (higher yield, usually higher risk).
Gladstone Land — farmland-focused REIT. Recent market lists also continue to show these names among monthly payers. (Dividend Pro)

A useful distinction: equity REITs (like Realty Income or STAG Industrial) own properties and collect rent. Mortgage REITs (like AGNC Investment Corp.) invest in mortgages and often offer higher yields but can be more sensitive to interest rates. Community discussions also often emphasize focusing on business quality and payout durability, not only headline yield. (Reddit)

If you’re just starting, many income investors often begin by looking first at:

Realty Income for scale and long dividend history
STAG Industrial for industrial exposure
LTC Properties for healthcare exposure

If you want, I can also show 3–5 monthly dividend REITs that look attractive for 2026, or help build a $1,000 starter monthly-income REIT portfolio.
