Earn a 5.2% Dividend Yield from Target Stock Using This Hack

Target Corporation TGT stock is down nearly 15 percent over the past year, but that's not typical for this retail giant. 

Over the past five years, Target has returned approximately 101% to its investors. 

In addition to this growth, Target also pays a 3% annual dividend yield which equates to a $1.10 quarterly dividend. 

While that's a solid yield for a blue chip stock, it may not be the best way to invest in the company.

A platform backed by industry giant Marcus & Millichap is changing that, allowing individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000.
