That's largely because companies behind winning stocks often have a sustainable competitive advantage and a top management team that executes well. So this list is worth perusing if you're looking for a REIT stock to buy now.
REITs tend to pay attractive dividends. That's because in exchange for the special tax treatment they receive, they must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income each year as dividends to shareholders. Keep in mind that generally higher-yielding REITs are more volatile and risky than their lower-yielding counterparts.
