Foreword

Any collection of dividend stocks is more clearly understood when subjected to yield-based (dog catcher) analysis, these US exchange sourced real estate investment trust stocks are perfect for the dogcatcher process. Here is the February 8 data for 77 top dividend-paying net gain REITs as documented by YCharts.

The Ides of March, 2020 plunge in the stock market took its toll on US REITs. Only one top ten US REIT by yield from March was back in the top ten for April. However the drop in prices in all top 50 US REITs (listed by yield) has made the possibility of owning productive dividend shares from this collection more affordable for first-time investors. A rapid recovery in market prices partially closed that window of first-time buying opportunity.

As of February 8, 2021, the record showed most top-yield REITs living-up-to the dogcatcher ideal of producing enough annual dividend from $1,000 invested to buy one or more shares of their stock.

The latest poll showed 46 of 50 top REITs for February living the dream of providing annual dividends from $1k invested sufficient to buy one or more shares of the target stock. A larger sample revealed 69 of 77 reaching that goal. (See list at end of article).
