3 Niche REITs Paying Big Dividends

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) continue to attract investors looking for big dividends and income in today’s low interest rate environment. Designed to allow regular retail investors the ability to invest in commercial properties, REITs are required to pay out the vast bulk of their cash flows as dividends. That payout requirement produces yields in the 4% to 7% range for the majority of the sector.

And unlike many high-yielding sectors, REITs actually perform quite well in rising rate environments after the initial “shock” of the rate hike. That makes them perfect additions for anyone’s portfolio these days. Here are 3 niche REITs paying out big dividends: Digital Realty Trust (DLR), EPR Properties (EPR) and Extra Space Storage (EXR).
