🏠📈 WELCOME TO MY FIRST REIT!

I see all of my new followers coming in, and I am SO excited to have you here! ❤️

If you're ready to buy your first REIT, your very first step is simple:

YOU NEED A BROKERAGE ACCOUNT.

A brokerage account is the account you use to buy and hold investments like stocks and publicly traded REITs.

Think of it like this:

🏦 Your bank account holds your cash.

📈 Your brokerage account is where you buy and hold your investments.

You can open a brokerage account with companies such as Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Vanguard, E*TRADE and other established brokerage firms.

Once your account is open:

1️⃣ Connect your bank account.

2️⃣ Transfer in the amount you want to invest.

3️⃣ Search for the REIT by its ticker symbol.

For example:

🏭 Rexford Industrial Realty — REXR

📦 Prologis — PLD

4️⃣ Decide how much YOU want to invest.

5️⃣ Review everything carefully before you hit BUY.

And depending on your brokerage, you may be able to purchase fractional shares, which means you may not even need enough money to buy one whole share.

You do NOT need thousands or millions of dollars to START learning about real-estate investing.

Start where YOU are.

And once you own your REIT, we're going to talk about one of my favorite parts…

👀💰 DIVIDENDS!

Some of my First REITers are already receiving theirs!

And remember, when those dividends come in, you may be able to:

💵 Take them as cash

OR

🔄 Turn on DRIP, Dividend Reinvestment and automatically use those dividends to buy additional shares.

But FIRST THINGS FIRST…

🏠 OPEN THAT BROKERAGE ACCOUNT.

Then come back here, because I'm going to walk my new First REITers through this one step at a time.

Welcome to My First REIT! ❤️📈

🏠📈 WAIT…YOU MEAN SOME OF Y'ALL NOW OWN PROPERTY'S RIGHT HERE IN COMPTON?! 👀

YES! 😂

My First REITers have been learning, researching, buying shares, receiving dividends and some are even reinvesting those dividends.

So let's bring WHO OWNS COMPTON? back for a minute and look at some REAL Compton properties. 👀

🏭 REXFORD INDUSTRIAL REALTY (Ticker REXR)

📍 1420 McKinley Avenue
📍 2020 Central Avenue
📍 3131 Harcourt Street

If you own shares of REXR, you own shares in the REIT whose portfolio includes these Compton properties. So YES you own these!!

💰 REXR: approximately $37 per share as of 8/21/26

WAIT…WHAT?! 👀

We're talking about real estate companies with MILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars in real estate and you don't need millions of dollars to become a shareholder? NOPE

One share of REXR is currently around $37.

Now THAT'S why I wanted y'all to learn about REITs! 😂

And Rexford isn't the only one…

📦 PROLOGIS (Ticker PLD)

Look at these Compton addresses⬇️

📍 303–333 W. Artesia Boulevard
📍 737 W. Artesia Boulevard
📍 800 W. Artesia Boulevard
📍 801 W. Artesia Boulevard
📍 601 W. Carob Street
📍 775 W. Manville Street

💰 PLD: approximately $141 per share as of 8/21/26

Recognize some of those streets? 👀😂

And here's what I REALLY want you to understand......

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PARTICIPATE IN REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP.

You don't have to buy the whole warehouse.

You don't have to buy the shopping center.

You don't have to come up with the millions of dollars these properties can cost.

With a REIT, you're purchasing shares in the company and its overall realestate portfolio.

And depending on your brokerage account, fractional shares may even allow you to start with LESS than the price of one full share.

Now here's another part I love…

💰 THE DIVIDENDS!

REITs are designed to distribute income to their shareholders. To qualify as a REIT, a company generally must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income annually TO US, YES YOU & I THE SHAREHOLDERS!!!

And some of my First REITers have ALREADY RECEIVED THEIR DIVIDENDS! 🙌🏾💰😂

You may choose to receive those dividends as cash, OR, when available through your brokerage account, turn on Dividend Reinvestment and automatically use those dividends to purchase additional shares or fractional shares. You'll literally be buying shares & making $$ while you SLEEP 😴

Now let's talk about a property everybody in Compton knows…

🛍️ GATEWAY TOWNE CENTER

📍 Artesia & Alameda

Yep. THAT Gateway. 👀

Gateway is connected to the CLPF Gateway Towne Center LP / Clarion Partners institutional REIT realestate investment structure.

🧱 THE COMPTON BRICKYARD

📍 1701 N. Central Avenue
📍 1430 N. McKinley Avenue

The nearly 1 MILLION-square-foot Brickyard was involved in a reported $412 MILLION transaction in 2026 involving Clarion Partners.

$412 MILLION. 😳

Now compare that number with what we just learned.

You don't have $412 million?

ME NEITHER! 😂

That's the beauty of learning about REITs.

📈 REXR — publicly traded approximately $37/share
📈 PLD — publicly traded approximately $141/share
🔐 Gateway — (Ask me how)
🔐 Brickyard — (Ask me how)

And remember buying one share does NOT mean somebody is mailing you a tiny deed to a warehouse. 😂

You're buying shares in the REIT, whose portfolio includes these Compton properties.

So some of my First REITers can literally drive through Compton, look at one of these properties and say..

I own shares in the company whose portfolio includes THAT property AND THEY PAY ME FOR IT! 👀🏠📈

You don't have to be a millionaire to start learning about ownership.

YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW OWNERSHIP IS AVAILABLE TO YOU.

That's why I started My First REIT. ❤️

👀💰 WAIT A MINUTE…Y'ALL GETTING PAID NOW?! 😂

YES!

Some of my First REITers have officially started receiving DIVIDENDS from REITs they've invested in! 🏠📈

Now before anybody gets carried away 😂 I'm not saying quit your job tomorrow.

But I AM saying…

YOUR INVESTMENT PAID YOU. 👀💰

And here's the part I want my First REITers to understand:

When that dividend comes in, you generally have TWO choices depending on your brokerage and investment

💵 TAKE THE CASH
Your dividend can remain as cash in your brokerage account, where you can withdraw it or use it however you choose.

OR…

🔄 TURN ON DRIP. Dividend Reinvestment

Instead of taking the dividend as cash, you can have it automatically reinvested into additional shares including fractional shares when available of that investment.

So imagine this:

🏠 You own shares
⬇️
💰 Those shares pay a dividend
⬇️
🔄 You reinvest that dividend
⬇️
📈 It buys more shares
⬇️
💰 Those additional shares may earn future dividends too!

And you didn't have to remember to go back and buy them.

IT HAPPENED AUTOMATICALLY. 😴💰😂

That's the power of compounding over TIME.

And yes you can absolutely choose the CASH. Sometimes cash is exactly what somebody wants or needs.

The lesson isn't “Everybody turn on DRIP.”

The lesson is THIS!

KNOW YOUR OPTIONS.

💵 Take your dividend as cash.

OR

🔄 Reinvest it and continue building your position.

Your money. Your goals. Your decision.

But First REITers…

Y'ALL GETTING PAID NOW?! 👀😂💰

I LOVE IT!
