Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are coming off a strong year in 2021. The average REIT delivered an impressive 41% total return last year, which outperformed the S&P 500.
However, this year is a slightly different story as the average REIT is down double digits. That has several trading at more attractive valuations and higher dividend yields. Three REITs that stand out as top buys this month are Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI), Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), and Realty Income (NYSE: O).
