High Yielding REITs have benefited from the steady recovery of the
U.S. housing market in 2012. The Vanguard REIT ETF -- which tracks
the performance of an index that measures the performance of
publicly traded equity REITs -- is up over 15 percent for the year,
outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial by a large margin. "The way
I like to think about REITs is they are real estate, period. REITs
delivers more for investors and gives you bond-like yield," said
Michael Hudgins, real estate strategist with JP Morgan Asset
Management. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for diversified
REITs and provides equity research on American Capital Agency Corp.
(NASDAQ: AGNC) and ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (NYSE: ARR).

A recent AP article stated that through June of this year real
estate funds have gained $2.9 billion in new cash from investors,
while a majority of other stock fund groups have seen investors
pull out. The recent strength of REITs combined with their high
yields have made them attractive targets for investors as interests
rates and bond yields are near record lows.
Positive data supporting the U.S. housing market's recovery
continues to roll in. Data from FHFA showed that U.S. home prices
rose for the fourth consecutive month with a 0.8 percent increase
in May. Real-estate firm Zillow also recently put out a report
showing home prices in the second quarter increased from the
year-ago period for the first time in five years. "Home prices are
turning upward, another clear indication that housing market is in
the midst of a growing comeback," wrote Joel Naroff, president and
chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.
