Mortgage-Backed Securities vs. Treasury Bonds: An Introduction to Mortgage REITs - Financial Freedom, #78 - E-book - ePub

As income investors, we constantly search for high-yield dividend products; some of the top dividend producers are mortgage REITs. However, these products could be the most challenging investment out there. To safely invest in mREITs, you must understand the relationship between mortgage-backed securities and treasury bonds. Once you understand the hierarchy of bond investing, starting with the Federal Funds rate, investing in mREITs will be logical. MBS and mREITs are cyclical products, as is the housing market.
There are bad, good, and great times to purchase mREITs. If you can invest during the good seasons, you will generate massive dividends and some capital gains later. Good Luck!
