REITs are a popular play in the current economy due to their steady dividends, which currently averages around 13 percent, nearly 7 times the average dividend yield of the S&P 500. REITs can avoid corporate income tax, provided they invest in real estate-related assets and pay out at least 90 percent of their income in dividends to investors.
"Despite their run, REITs remain attractive to income investors. But we warn our clients that funds using stock REITs are very different animals than those buying mortgages," says Matt Reiner, chief investment officer at Capital Investment Advisors. "Compared to Treasuries, mortgage REITs are paying much better yields -- and we don't see that trend reversing soon," says Reiner.
