3 of the Safest High-Dividend Stocks You Can Buy Today

The real estate investment trust, or REIT, industry is a fantastic place to find safe and reliable high-yield dividend stocks because of their subscription model. So, unlike other companies that have to innovate and market new products, REITs own portfolios of real estate, lease those properties to businesses, and then collect rent. This model is perfectly suited to generating consistent dividends.

However, all REITs are not created equal, and that is why you need to focus on the best. Today, I have three of them: W.P. Carey (NYSE:WPC) owns a diverse portfolio of 853 single-tenant properties spread across the U.S. and Europe and divided between office, industrial, warehouse, retail, and even self-storage space. Welltower (NYSE:HCN) is more concentrated than W.P. Carey -- instead of owning a number of different property types the company is the leader in the U.S. healthcare real estate market. Stag Industrial (NYSE:STAG) management team views itself as value investors attempting to uncover hidden gems, which often means acquiring bargain properties selling below replacement cost.
