3 REITs With Dividends Yielding More Than 3%
The dividend yield on the S&P 500 is near a 20-year low of around 1.25%. Because of that, it's getting harder for investors to find compelling income stocks.
However, one place where they can still find more attractive yields is the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector. The average REIT currently yields around 3%, with some offering even bigger dividends. Three attractive REITs offering above-average payouts are Crown Castle International (NYSE: CCI), Realty Income (NYSE: O), and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW).
