As the dream of homeownership becomes more elusive for many in the current real estate landscape, savvy investors are turning their attention to alternative avenues. Let's take a look at two stocks and one crowdfunding platform that provide gateways to real estate exposure and wealth accumulation.

Invitation Homes

Invitation Homes INVH owns and manages a portfolio of approximately 80,000 single-family homes across the Western U.S., Sunbelt, and Florida. In all 16 of its core markets, it's more affordable to lease a home than it is to buy, helping it achieve a 97.1% same-store average occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Invitation Homes currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share, which equates to $1.12 per share annually and gives it a yield of about 3.4% today. The company has also raised its annual dividend payment every year since its initial public offering in 2017, making it both a high-yield and dividend-growth stock.
