2 Ultra-High-Yielding Real Estate Stocks to Buy With $1,000
Real estate stocks got bludgeoned last year as higher interest rates weighed on their values. The average real estate investment trust (REIT) shed a quarter of its value last year, with some falling even further.
One of the silver linings to falling REIT share prices is that their dividend yields rose. Some of them now offer much more compelling income streams. Two REITs currently providing big-time payouts are EPR Properties Trust (NYSE: EPR) and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW). It makes them tantalizing options for investors seeking to maximize their income yield on a $1,000 investment.
EPR Properties Trust currently offers an 8.36% dividend yield. That level implies the REIT, which focuses on owning experiential real estate like movie theaters and other attractions, can turn $1,000 into $83.60 of annual passive income. That's a lot more income than an investor can earn by investing that same amount into an S&P 500 index fund. With the broader market's current yield at 1.68%, this investment would only produce about $16.80 of annual passive income over the next year.
