Summary
$500,000 split across five monthly payers would generate about $26,130 in annual dividends, with a Roth IRA preserving the full amount versus roughly $19,859 after tax in a taxable account at a 24% rate.
The analysis favors Realty Income, Main Street Capital, Agree Realty, EPR Properties and LTC Properties because their REIT and BDC payouts are generally taxed as ordinary income, making Roth placement more valuable.
Monthly distributions also compound 12 times a year instead of four, and the report says that reinvesting the $6,271 annual tax savings at 5% could grow to about $79,000 over 10 years and $207,000 over 20 years.
The tax gap widens with income: the same portfolio would forfeit about $5,749 a year at a 22% bracket and $9,668 at a 37% bracket, with MAIN and EPR flagged as the highest-priority candidates for Roth placement.
