A Promising Pair of Industrial REITs to Purchase Now

The family of industrial real estate investment trusts (REITs) is a diverse group that includes companies with a broad focus -- from general warehousing to cold storage to last-mile e-commerce and more. Nareit lists 14 of them and says as a group, industrial REITs posted a year-to-date total return of 9.81% as of the beginning of December 2020, with an average dividend yield of 2.55%. Investors can do a little homework and identify strong performers with long-term records of good returns and decent prospects of stock price appreciation with that family and be fairly confident of success.
