Why I Just Added This 7.8%-Yielding Commercial Property REIT To My Income Portfolio

I bought this REIT for my high-yield income portfolio this week as I believe it makes an exceptional value proposition. The company is much cheaper than Realty Income Corp. and National Retail Properties, Inc., two competing large-scale U.S.-focused commercial property REITs. I see up to ~43 percent upside from yesterday's close. The stock's dividend is not as risky as investors think it is. An investment in it yields 7.8 percent.

VEREIT, Inc. (VER) is a gift for shareholders around $7. The commercial property REIT makes an excellent value proposition at today's price point as shares as significantly undervalued. I have added VEREIT, Inc. as a long-term holding to my income portfolio because the real estate investment trust's dividend is better than its reputation. An investment in VER yields 7.8 percent.
