There's always mortgage REITs, which are yielding 15%-20%, but of course there's a damn good reason the yields are high. When the Fed starts raising rates, it could get ugly.
Love me some REITs yielding at almost 20%... Dunno what the end is going to look like (or when it is going to come) but it probably won't be pretty. Should sell my AGNC shares at some point...but I don't want to
