When investing in mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) it is important to know that these funds hold a five-year average dividend yield of 10.8%. Mortgage REITs generate higher returns over a three-year period than a 10-year period, generating annualized returns of 10.3% and 8.2%, respectively.

Unless a mortgage REIT issues new debt or raises its dividends, the book value or market price should remain unchanged. This is because mortgage REITs do not own property, rather they directly or indirectly loan their money to real estate operators or owners, and generate revenues through the interest collected.

Essentially, if a mortgage REIT is trading below its book value without reason, this may be an excellent opportunity to buy low and sell high when it returns to book value.

Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (NYSE: IVR) is offering a dividend yield of 24.25% or $2.60 per share annually, utilizing quarterly payments, with an inconsistent track record of increasing its dividends.
