Like most REITs, Artis REIT ( TSX:AX.UN ) is a great buy for its dividends. The REIT is currently offering a juicy 5.1% yield that's backed by a solid payout ratio of 22%. And that's after the REIT grew its dividends. The dividends are attractive for a reason beyond the yield, such as the fact that the REIT slashed its payouts by half in 2018.
