This 7.8% Yielding Preferred REIT Stock Looks Like A Good Deal For Income Investors

These preferred shares are an interesting alternative to the REIT’s common shares. The Series A has proven to have much less downside. While the Series A is less volatile than the company's common shares, investors only get paid quarterly, not monthly. An investment in this preferred stock layer comes with a 7.8 percent dividend yield.

Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (BRG) is a real estate investment trust that is growing AFFO and NOI at a fast clip. While the REIT’s common shares get all the attention due to its appealing, yet high-risk 11.3 percent dividend yield, income investor may also want to take a look at Bluerock Residential Growth’s preferred stock layer as an alternative source for income.
