3 Dangerous High Yield REITs to Sell Before It's Too Late

AI-generated source summary

The analysis focuses on three real estate investment trusts (REITs): Gladstone Land (LAND), NexPoint Residential Trust (NXRT), and Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR). The general market sentiment for REITs is presented as potentially struggling due to rising interest rates and a high LTV ratio, leading to a possible dividend cut. LAND is highlighted for its 7% dividend yield and its asset base in permanent crops, suggesting resilience but also higher CAPEX needs and potential debt refinancing risks. NXRT, despite its rapid growth in sunbelt markets, shows a significant price drop of 70% from its peak, with an 8.5% dividend yield that is fully covered but faces potential cuts due to high leverage. IVR is presented as having the highest dividend yield in the sector at 20%, but with a 140% payout ratio and high leverage, making its dividend sustainability questionable. The analysis suggests that while these companies have high yields, the risk of dividend cuts is significant due to their leverage and the challenging economic environment. The overall thesis is that the market is oversaturated with supply, leading to declining rents and high interest expenses, making many REITs' current dividends unsustainable.
