WARNING: The Shocking Truth About Mortgage REITs - Stay Away!

Not all Real Estate Investment Trusts buy properties. Some make loans and buy debt securities instead. Those are called mortgage REITs. They typically offer high dividend yields but they have performed very poorly over the long run. I have suffered large losses in some cases by buying REITs like Annaly Capital Management (NLY), Starwood Property Trust (STWD), and Blackstone Mortgage Trust (BXMT). I would much rather invest in lower-yielding equity REITs like Realty Income (O Stock) and VICI Properties. 🎁You can access my entire REIT Portfolio by taking a 2-week free trial to my REIT newsletter, High Yield Landlord: https://seekingalpha.com/affiliate_link/HYLonYoutube
