Retail real estate investment trusts (REITs) own, operate, or finance income-generating retail properties, including shopping centers, malls, strip malls, and other retail spaces, and generate revenue by leasing space to retail businesses. 

As is the case with all REITs, retail REITs are required to distribute a significant portion of their income to shareholders in the form of dividends, making them a popular choice for investors seeking income.

If you're interested in buying a retail REIT with a high yield, here are two you should consider today.
