Invest In Sunshine, Dividends, And Financial Freedom

Summer is a season of growth.

Across the country, gardens are coming to life. Homeowners are planting flowers, fruits, and vegetables, fertilizing the soil, pulling weeds, and carefully tending their lawns. The extra effort invested today helps create something beautiful and rewarding in the months ahead.

Successful income investing follows the same principle.

Financial freedom is not built overnight. It grows steadily through patience, discipline, and a portfolio designed to generate reliable income year after year. Just as a well-tended garden produces a bountiful harvest, a well-constructed income portfolio can provide a growing stream of cash flow for life, regardless of market volatility.

As we celebrate the summer, we're excited to offer a Summer Sale 2026. New members can receive 20% off their first-year subscription to High Dividend Opportunities, backed by our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.

Use this energetic season as an opportunity to grow more than your garden. Today, we're highlighting two of our favorite picks that allow investors to collect attractive dividends from businesses connected to the great outdoors, entertainment, recreation, and the places people visit to enjoy the summer months. Let’s dive in.

Pick #1: EPR – 6.5%

EPR Properties (EPR) is a REIT focused on experiential real estate—places where people go to have fun. Its portfolio includes theaters, eat-and-play venues, attractions, and other entertainment destinations. Importantly, many of these are local, drive-to locations that often remain resilient during economic slowdowns as consumers substitute expensive travel with affordable experiences closer to home.

While theaters still account for 36% of EBITDAre, EPR continues to diversify its portfolio through acquisitions and capital recycling. We believe the market's concerns about theaters are overblown, especially as box office trends have improved and operators have upgraded the customer experience.

What truly sets EPR apart is management. During COVID, the company repurchased shares at depressed prices and emerged with less debt and fewer shares outstanding. Today, EPR is back in growth mode, increasing investments, expanding its portfolio, and raising its dividend, positioning shareholders for attractive income and long-term growth.

Pick #2: NNN – Yield 5.3%

NNN REIT (NNN) is one of the most reliable income investments in the REIT sector. Since becoming a public company in 1994, it has delivered 36 consecutive annual dividend increases through recessions, bear markets, and periods of economic uncertainty.

Today, NNN owns more than 3,700 properties across all 50 states, leased to hundreds of tenants spanning 37 industries. Its portfolio remains exceptionally stable, with 98.6% occupancy and a weighted-average lease term of more than 10 years.

Growth comes from a proven acquisition strategy. NNN has steadily expanded its property portfolio for years, driving consistent AFFO growth while maintaining a conservative balance sheet. During Q1, the REIT continued acquiring properties at attractive cap rates and raised its 2026 AFFO guidance.

With a well-covered 5.3% dividend yield, investment-grade balance sheet, and ample liquidity, NNN offers investors a combination of dependable income, dividend growth, and long-term stability that is increasingly difficult to find in today's volatile market.
