2 Stocks to Buy With Dividends Yielding More Than 4%

If you're like me, high dividends all by themselves aren't enough to get you excited about a stock -- you need long-term growth potential as well. One sector where you can find both is in real estate, as there's a great combination of income potential and value appreciation from commercial properties. With that in mind, here are two real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that pay more than 4% and have lots of upside potential...

Welltower (WELL) is the largest real estate investment trust in the market focused on healthcare real estate with about 1,500 properties throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. in high-barrier markets. The company has an especially large concentration in senior-specific properties, such as senior housing (67% of the portfolio) and long-term care (10%). Simon Property Group (SPG) isn't just the largest mall REIT, it's one of the largest REITs of any kind in the market with a market capitalization of more than $54 billion. The company is an operator of high-quality malls and outlet centers in the U.S., as well as some international markets. You may recognize its Premium Outlets and The Mills brand names.
