3 Mortgage REITs With Yields Up To 21.04%
Mortgage real estate investment trusts (mREITs) are investment vehicles that focus on generating income through mortgage-related assets, such as mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans.
Unlike traditional REITs that invest directly in real estate, mortgage REITs earn income from the interest on mortgage assets, offering investors exposure to the mortgage market with the potential for high dividend yields.
