If I were to own a REIT, American Tower Corporation (AMT) would be at the top of my list. It's an interesting, stable business that appears to be relatively safe (certainly much more so than something like a mall REIT in 2020).

American Tower Corporation rents out land and telecommunications towers to carriers, and can have up to three tenants renting out the same land and tower at the same time. Tenants are generally charged based on how much of the tower they're using, although second and third tenants can often pay more than the first "anchor" tenant.
