The average dividend stock yields about 1.4% these days, based on the S&P 500 's yield. That's likely not very appealing to most income-focused investors.
However, many companies pay much higher dividend yields . Camden Property Trust (NYSE: CPT) , Iron Mountain (NYSE: IRM) , and W. P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) stand out for their dividends. They offer yields more than double the S&P 500's level. That's one of many factors that make these real estate investment trusts ( REITs ) screaming buys this March.
