3 Residential REITs With Yields Up To 7.22%

Residential real estate investment trusts (REITs) own, operate and/or finance income-producing residential properties. They provide a way for people to invest in large-scale real estate operations without having to buy or manage properties themselves. 

Residential REITs invest in various types of housing, such as apartments, student housing and single-family homes, and generate revenue through leasing space and collecting rents on the properties they own. 

There's no shortage of reasons to invest in residential REITs, but before doing so you should compare your options. For many, the best REITs are the ones that pay the highest yields. Here are three investments to consider based on yield alone.
