UMH - 3 Dividend Stocks to Buy Before the Bear Market Ends
Last year was tough for investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 28% from its high and the S&P 500 index declined 20%. Losses may have been deep and broad but history has shown that the market eventually will recover.

Three stocks that look particularly appealing considering their high-dividend yields and beaten-up share prices are Blackstone (NYSE: BX) , UMH Properties (NYSE: UMH) , and Mid-America Apartment Communities (NYSE: MAA) . All three stocks declined 20% or more in the past year while paying yields ranging from 3% to 5%.
Here's a closer look at each company and why three Motley Fool contributors believe these fantastic dividend stocks are must-buys now.
