3 Top Dividend Stocks That Wall Street Is Sleeping On

The first stock to buy before Wall Street catches on is the diversified real estate investment trust (REIT) W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC), whose stock is currently trading 3.3% below its 52-week high. This means that its hundreds of tenants are responsible for the insurance, property taxes, maintenance, and utilities each month on W.P. Carey's more than 1,200 properties across the U.S. and Europe. W.P. Carey's tenants also cut base rent checks to the company each month, which has provided it with the cash flow necessary to raise its dividend for 23 years straight.
