5G is coming, and it's coming fast.

We've heard a lot of doom and gloom around REITs since the pandemic shut down the economy.
Some of it is justified, of course.
But the storage real estate market is nearly recession proof.

While the media has focused solely on the demise of commercial real estate during the COVID-19 crisis, some sectors will see a boost in the aftermath of the economic shutdown.
First, e-commerce will expand in the years ahead, which will keep the economy growing.
While it is indeed horrible news for mall owners, it is good news for the owners of warehouses and distribution centers that service e-commerce.
Industrial REITs own precisely that type of property and should survive the crisis and thrive for decades on the other side of it all.
Today, we're looking at the three best REITs to buy in this space for May.

If you're looking to get a snapshot of what industries expect to thrive or collapse in the post-COVID-19 world, look no further than the real estate market.

If you're investing in REITs, the state of the 2020 economy is apparent after looking at just two charts of the sector.
On one hand, you have healthcare REITs, data center REITs, and cell tower REITs.
They've all bounced back sharply due to the unprecedented response from Congress and the Federal Reserve.
However, commercial real estate and lodging REITs continue to suffer due to slumping consumer demand and the wave of expected defaults on the horizon.
With that in mind, there is one classification of REITs that continues to slide under the radar due to the expected macro-economic downturn in the months ahead.

The 2020 financial sell-off due to coronavirus is still in the early innings.
Although the markets have stormed back since hitting fresh lows in mid-March, we still face an extraordinary task for the economy.
However, data center REITs, healthcare REITs, and cell tower REITs have all made for solid investments in the long-term and provide a mix of appreciation upside and strong dividends.
Today, I want to talk about another classification of REIT that will do very well thanks to the backing of state governments and the federal government in the years ahead.
Their contracts are effectively guaranteed, making two companies – with dividends of 14.2% and 12.5% – an absolute steal at today's levels.

The coronavirus has pummeled certain corners of the economy.
In other corners, however, a robust recovery has already taken place.
Some industries have benefited from a swell of stimulus spending, Fed intervention, and robust asset purchases.
Nowhere has this been more evident than in the real estate market.
There is one more area of REITs for investors to be hyper-bullish on now.
Today, we're going to discuss a freight train of profits coming to one recession-proof industry and how you can cash in on this "must own" sector.

Right now, commercial real estate is on the ropes.
Companies of all sizes are not paying rent.
Firms have moved toward a work-from-home policy.
And many retailers may never return to their locations even after coronavirus fades.
Barring a massive bailout of the commercial real estate industry, it's possible that some private equity firms and real estate companies could collapse too.
