4 High-Yield Real Estate Stocks to Buy as Investors Get Defensive

Written by Nathan Reiff. Published 11/13/2025. 

Key Points

• REITs offer steady—and sometimes significant—passive income, even during periods of volatility in other parts of the market.
• With investors increasingly concerned about the broader economy and the possibility of a correction, REITs may have a renewed appeal.
• These four REITs focus on all things real estate—from retail and commercial spaces to data centers and infrastructure.

Consumers are about as pessimistic about the state of the economy as they have been in recent years, amid a weakening labor market, disruptions from the fall 2025 government shutdown, and concerns about an AI bubble. Though the S&P 500 appears to be continuing its ascent—up almost 17% this year—it is not surprising that investors are growing cautious as they wait for a potentially major course correction. Even after retreating from all-time highs in recent weeks, gold is trending upward again, a sign investors are seeking defensive plays.

One often-overlooked source of stability when investors are cautious is the real estate investment trust (REIT) space. These companies pay out the majority of their taxable income as dividends, helping provide investors with a steady stream of passive income even if other sections of the market weaken. Below are four REITs worth a closer look, each offering high yields and potential upside. 

American Tower: Data Centers and Dividends in Focus

If your retirement strategy involves “picking the right stocks,” you’re one crash away from disaster…

A hedge fund legend who made $95 million in profits during a crash has a different way.

He’s using 18-digit codes to “skim” the market without buying stocks.

And his followers have seen an 84%-win rate.Click here to see how he does it

Wireless infrastructure operator American Tower (NYSE: AMT) is one of the largest REITs, with a market capitalization approaching $87 billion. The company has benefited from strong data-center demand, which helped drive revenue above $2.7 billion—up 8% year-over-year (YOY)—in the latest quarter. Services revenue also surged, contributing to strong adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) growth. The firm consequently raised full-year 2025 guidance across multiple categories.

Though American Tower faces risks, including potential volatility in its tower portfolio, it has excellent liquidity—nearly $11 billion. That gives it substantial room for share buybacks, capital expenditures, and dividend distributions. American Tower’s dividend yield is an attractive 3.68%, having improved by nearly 12% on an annualized five-year basis.

Analysts expect AMT shares to appreciate as the company is well-positioned to capitalize on infrastructure trends. AMT stock has a consensus price target above $231, implying more than 25% upside, and 15 of 20 analysts rate the stock a Buy.

Franklin BSP: High Yield, Higher Risk

Franklin BSP Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: FBRT) owns a portfolio of single-tenant, net-leased commercial properties. FBRT shares have pulled back nearly 20% year-to-date (YTD), producing a dividend yield above 14%—a yield that will certainly catch income investors’ attention.

The company’s acquisition of real estate finance platform NewPoint has also helped support dividend growth.

While the very high yield is appealing, it raises red flags: the company has dipped into cash reserves to finance distributions, which can be unsustainable over time.

Still, FBRT appears inexpensive relative to many peers in the financials sector—its price-to-earnings ratio of 12.6 is well below the sector average of 22.4.

FBRT carries an overall Buy rating from five of six analysts, and the company is projected to see its stock climb by more than 45%.

NETSTREIT: Exceptional Liquidity and a Rising Dividend

NETSTREIT Corp. (NYSE: NTST), like Franklin BSP, focuses on single-tenant, net-lease properties but emphasizes retail rather than commercial spaces.

Unlike Franklin, NETSTREIT has outperformed the broader market this year, returning more than 32% YTD.

Despite a disappointing top line in the last quarter, the firm shows solid fundamentals, including 99.9% occupancy across its portfolio.

NETSTREIT strengthened its balance sheet in the third quarter with a $209.7 million share offering, bringing total liquidity to over $1 billion. That followed roughly $204 million in acquisitions closed last quarter.

It’s therefore unsurprising the company offers a dividend yield of 4.67%. Analysts see roughly 11% further upside in NTST shares, with 11 of 13 analysts rating the stock a Buy.

Iron Mountain: A Data-Driven Dividend Story

Iron Mountain Inc. (NYSE: IRM) provides secure storage facilities and services, setting it apart from the other firms on this list. The company delivered a strong third quarter, with 13% YOY revenue growth to $1.8 billion and a 16% increase in adjusted EBITDA—largely driven by significant expansion in its data-center business.

Iron Mountain plans to bring online 450 megawatts of data-center capacity over the next two years, a major expansion to meet rising digital storage demand. Signed leases suggest the firm’s data-center business could grow by at least a quarter next year alone.

With a dividend yield of 3.41%, Iron Mountain is returning more cash to shareholders. However, a payout ratio near 651% raises concerns about the dividend’s sustainability compared with peers. Still, six of eight analysts covering the company rate it a Buy, projecting more than 17% upside.
