I recently brought a housing REIT index similar to Groundfloor, Fundrise, Realty Mogul for $25.
My total account value is $25.
I recently received $0.12 total distribution dividend check payment in the mail. It saids my next cash dividend of $0.12 is in 12 days.
My question is that is this a good return / ROI ? Should I stop at $25.00 as my total account value? Should I invest more? What happens if I put more money in like $50.00 in the account? Will my dividend payout increase parallel to the total amount of money I put in? Is this a good investment?

I'm guessing you're new to investing. $0.12 x 12 months is $1.44, which is 5.76% of $25. That is considered an average REIT yield. But what are you expecting to achieve with an investment of $25 or $50? You need to invest at least 100 times that to even get started...

$25 - $50 is a start for a lot of people. Nothing wrong with that. Start where you can and keep the disclipine and save/invest regularly.

Mr. Cat, Looking at your attached image, I'd suggest that you click the "reinvest dividends" option so that you stop receiving paper checks and start dividend compounding.
If you had reinvested the dividend instead of a paper check, then the next months dividend would be based on a balance of $25.12 instead of $25.

Absolutely! If you believe in the investment, reinvest the dividend while adding more shares. Over time you'll have a decent little account and the dividends MAY be taxed at a lower rate vs collecting a check every month.
I'm not invested in it at the moment, but I've been looking at PFF and it's 6% dividend.
