The Best REIT to Buy Right Now Will Pay 8.5% Yield

By Tim Melvin, Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning • Tuesday, January 25, 2022

Stocks had a great 2021, if a tad wild - the S&P 500 finished up nearly 27% for the year. But the performance of real estate investment trusts (REITs) last year flat-out blew stocks out of the water - no other way to put it.

REITs booked their second-strongest year on record in 2021. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) is reporting green up and down the market, with big REIT indexes turning in anywhere from 41.3% to 43.2% gains. Look a little closer at specific segments, and you see strong performance there, too - mortgage REITs up 22.5% in the commercial financing sector and 11.5% for home financing.

As mouth-watering as those 2021 numbers are, I'm here to look ahead and recommend some of the best REITs to own in 2022.
