With thousands of stocks trading in the market, it can become overwhelming to pick the right one, especially if you're on the hunt for yield. But if you're looking for steady monthly income and a high yield, you should consider investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs)."
"REITs present an opportunity to enter the real estate industry without a huge investment. REITs offer a high yield and carry little risk. As a rule, REITs must distribute 90% of their pre-tax income as dividends to shareholders. This requirement ensures steady income for investors. Here are 3 dividend REITs with a yield over 8%.
