The S&P 500 may yield just 2.2% today – but if you smartly invest in stocks that specialize in profitable niches, you can collect 6-11% yields right now. With double-digit price upside to boot!
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are some of my favorite vehicles for specialization and yield. REITs must have 75% of their assets in actual real estate and earn 75% of their income from those assets. These dividend machines are legally required to pass along at least 90% of their earnings to shareholders.
This is actually the best time to buy REITs this decade. The Vanguard REIT Index ETF (VNQ) pays 3.9% today – just about its highest since 2009. You’ll bank easy double-digit gains buying high quality REITs when their yields are high.
Of course, we must make sure the dividends are well funded, and preferably growing. Which is why I love REITs that specialize. The more unique the focus, the better. It means less competition, and higher rents.
Last week I shared my favorite office REITs – good plays on a quietly booming job market. Today I’ve got 4 unique niche REITs to share with you. They all have natural competitive moats and rising rents powering their big yields.
