Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Charles Sizemore]

  Next on the list of monthly dividend stocks is one of Realty Incomes upstart competitors, American Capital Realty Properties (ARCP).

  I call ARCP an “upstart” due to its short trading history (its only been trading since 2011). But the truth is, after its merger with Cole P! roperties (COLE), ARCP will be the largest triple-net REIT by market cap, and its total square footage will be nearly double that of Realty Income. And while ARCP stock has a short history, its executive team has an average of 20 years experience in the industry.
