6 REITs To Consider With Dividends Above 5%

Each of these five real estate investment trusts (REITs) currently pays a dividend of greater than 5%. 

For those willing to accept the risks, that’s a better yield than that of the U. S. Government 10-Year Treasury Note. Each REIT trades on the New York Stock Exchange, so plenty of information on these REITs is available from analysts at respected investment firms.

Hudson Pacific Properties Inc. (NYSE:HPP) pays a dividend of 6.8%. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the company owns and operates offices and properties in the media and technology industries. Founded in 2006, this REIT went public in 2010. It’s widely traded on the New York Stock Exchange with average daily volume of 2.27 million shares.

These five REITs look interesting based on the properties they own, their management and the past steadiness of dividend payments, although past performance is no guarantee of future success. Interested investors would be wise to conduct further investigations before placing money in any of these REITs. Understanding the risks involved for the greater dividends received is an important factor with REITs.
