3 Healthy Dividend Stocks

The REIT space has been hit pretty hard, with some of the industry's best names now offering both decent income and solid values. The market tends toward extremes, pushing stocks up too high, and then too low. It's essentially impossible to time the tops and bottoms, but if you watch closely enough, you can find good buys on great companies. Today, the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector is offering income investors an opportunity to buy some of its best companies at solid, though not spectacular prices. Don't miss this chance to buy the best.

One REIT subsector feeling the heat is triple-net lease. This group leases properties to renters willing to take on virtually all of the costs of maintaining the buildings, even including taxes! And the lease agreements are usually long term in nature, sometimes reaching the 20- and 30-year levels. So the REITs here tend to be very reliable: Realty Income (NYSE: O), Ventas (NYSE: VTR) and Mid-America Apartment Communities (NYSE: MAA).
