3 High-Dividend-Paying Stocks Yielding Up to 12.8%

Income investors are always looking for one thing: high-dividend-paying stocks. One sector that has always returned money back to shareholders is the real estate sector. There are many ways to make money in the real estate sector, such as financing, rental, and/or service companies. The main reason that real estate companies are high-dividend-paying stocks is that they tend to pay out more than 80% of their earnings.

I have made a list of three high-dividend-paying stocks that are beneficiaries of the returns from the real estate market. Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (NYSE:MPW) is a unique company in the real estate sector, focused on investing in and owning health care facilities. American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP (OTCMKTS:AHOTF) owns and operates hotels in the U.S. The big twist is that the company’s main focus is to accommodate railway employees, with more than half of the company’s portfolio of hotels located along U.S. railway lines. AG Mortgage Investment Trust Inc (NYSE:MITT) stock is a high-dividend-paying stock that invests and acquires residential and commercial mortgage assets, as well as other financial assets. The majority of its earnings come from mortgage-backed securities. The company has been around for 28 years.
