3 Office REITs With Yields Up To 27.35%

Office real estate investment trusts (REITs) are companies that own, operate and/or finance income-generating office properties. 

Just the same as other REITs, they provide an opportunity to invest in real estate without directly buying and subsequently managing the property. 

Office REITs generate income primarily through leasing office space and collecting rents from tenants.

There's no shortage of office REITs to invest in, so it's important to have criteria to guide your decision. For many investors, dividend yield is the most important factor. If this sounds like you, here are the three office REITs with the highest dividend yields.
