Mortgage real estate investment trusts have been a favorite among investors seeking some of the highest-paying dividends in the investment world. But is the dividend party about to end?
Anwar Elgonemy is the author of the new book Skin in the Game: The Past, Present, and Future of Real Estate Investments in America.
