Looking for Yield? Buy This Bargain Income Stock

Smaller REITS that are not in the major indices and ETFs haven’t seen the same type of yield-starved buying as their larger brethren. They can often be purchased at very attractive prices that allow for the possibility of substantial appreciation in addition to providing high levels of current income. It requires more searching and researching than just buying the popular names, but it should prove to be time well spent.
