Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (SKT): A Beaten-Down, High-Yield REIT Paying Safe Dividends
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are an appealing way for income investors to benefit from rental properties without any of the liquidity or landlord hassles that come with actually owning physical properties.
