Income investors are drawn to the real estate sector due to above-average dividend yields, with the MSCI US IMI Real Estate 25/50 Index yielding 3.72%, significantly higher than the S&P 500. The Invesco KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT ETF (NASDAQ: KBWY) offers an even more attractive 30-day SEC yield of 7.72% as of January 15, 2026, and pays monthly dividends. Despite its recent underperformance, this ETF remains a strong buy moving forward. Investors looking for income can find compelling opportunities in real estate investments.
