The dividend yield on the S&P 500 is near a 20-year low of around 1.25%. Because of that, it's getting harder for investors to find compelling income stocks .
However, one place where they can still find more attractive yields is the real estate investment trust ( REIT ) sector. The average REIT currently yields around 3%, with some offering even bigger dividends. Three attractive REITs offering above-average payouts are Crown Castle International (NYSE: CCI) , Realty Income (NYSE: O) , and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW) .
