If you are looking for a high income and you think that real estate has bottomed out, you should take a look at real estate investment trusts, which avoid taxation at the corporate level because they pass through at least 90% of their taxable income to their shareholders. Sometimes a portion of the income may be non-taxable.

ReplyDeleteDon't touch Anthracite. They invest primarily in "controlling class" CMBS. This is a fancy euphemism to describe subordinated CMBS paper - the very eye of the storm. They are in default and in forbearance discussions with their bondholders, and have been since early April. That's a lot of talking; who knows where it will end up.
ReplyDeleteNorthstar is one of the best, but last quarter even they paid their REIT dividends in stock.
I don't mean to put all REITs in the dog house, but do be careful if you are about to push the button on any of these names.
