2 Residential REITs With Yields up to 4.1%

In this article:

The U.S. real estate market is more unaffordable than ever before, pushing more people to rent versus buy and making residential real estate investment trusts (REITs) very interesting for investors.

Residential REITs offer investors the benefits of owning rental properties without the hassles of purchasing a property or being a landlord. They also carry the benefit of being liquid, since you can sell a stock any time the market is open, compared with a property that could take months or years to sell.

With all of this in mind, let's check out two residential REITs with yields up to 4.1%.

Invitation Homes (NYSE:INVH) has approximately 80,000 homes for lease across 16 markets in the U.S., making it one of the largest homeowners in the country. In all of these markets, it's more affordable to lease a home than it is to buy by about 32%, according to data from John Burns.

Invitation Homes currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share, equating to $1.12 per share annually, giving it a yield of approximately 3.3% at the time of this writing. It has also raised its annual dividend every year since its initial public offering in 2017.
