Checking In With This 11.8%-Yielding Mortgage REIT

This company is a high-yield/high-risk mortgage REIT. It has less risk than the average mortgage REIT in the sector due to a more "conservative" leverage ratio. Shares are moderately valued, though they are not a bargain yet. An investment in the stock comes with a dividend yield of 11.8 percent.

AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (MITT) is a promising high-yield/high-risk mortgage real estate investment trust with a large, increasingly diversified investment portfolio. The REIT covers its dividend payout with core earnings, on average, in the last eight quarters, and is one of few high-yield income vehicles that actually grow their dividends. Shares today continue to be priced at a slight discount to accounting book value. An investment in MITT yields 11.8 percent, but is only suitable for investors with a high risk tolerance.
