As investors have scrambled to find anything that throws off decent income in this age of low interest rates, real estate investment trusts have gotten the nod. And there’s naturally plenty to like. Designed as pass-through entities, REITs kick back the lion’s share of their cash flows as big dividend distributions to investors. That results in average dividend yields in the 4% to 7% range. Hardly shabby. Of course, when it comes to ensuring that those big dividends keep humming along, there are a few metrics that count, but perhaps none more than one called “funds from operations.”
If you don’t have time to look for yourself, don’t worry: We’ve got a list of five great REITs with the cash — er, funds from operations — to keep kicking back those sweet dividends: Urstadt Biddle Properties (UBA), Prologis (PLD), Public Storage (PSA), Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA) and W. P. Carey (WPC).
