3 High-Yield REITs Offering 7% or More
The basic concept of REITs is essentially the same regardless of the type. A REIT draws down relatively cheap fixed- and/or floating-rate debt, build or buys real estate and/or buildings, and gets cash flows from that property by leasing it out in some form. It could be to a business tenant, or to nightly tenants if it’s a hotel. The debt is serviced with the cash flow, and debt may get paid down, as well.

Plenty of investors ask me about monthly dividend stocks—and with good reason. After all, who doesn’t like their dividends rolling in when their bills do? It’s a heck of a lot easier than trying to manage the uneven income stream you get from a portfolio of solely quarterly payers.

Shareholders revere dividends, after all, and if management’s fine with getting them hooked on a monthly cash stream, they must be sure they can keep those checks coming—without any nasty surprise. These three are all trading at attractive valuations, to boot. So let’s dive in, starting with...
2 Dirt-Cheap Dividend Stocks to Buy in April
Many people invest in dividend-paying stocks to take advantage of the steady payments with the opportunity to reinvest in additional shares of the company.
