3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Wealthy Investors Should Consider Buying

Real estate investment trusts can offer some pretty valuable tax benefits to wealthy investors. For example, unlike corporate profits, a REIT's income isn't taxed at the corporate level, and therefore these companies can generally afford to pay higher dividends. With that in mind, here are three REITs our analysts think wealthy investors should love.

One somewhat offbeat REIT I like at the moment is a niche player, Digital Realty Trust (NYSE:DLR). It concentrates on the operation of data centers, the facilities that host many corporate IT functions. Real-estate investment trusts have gained in popularity lately, but the best opportunities are those that focus on particularly strong areas of the real-estate market. One such area is in the healthcare field, where Health Care REIT (NYSE:HCN) has built up an impressive track record of paying dividends to its shareholders. Americans love to shop, so one great REIT for wealthy investors seeking income is mall REIT Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG).
