New York Mortgage Trust is an income stock with growth prospects

Mark Hines, managing director at Left Brain Investment Research, discusses real estate investment trusts, many of which don't fit the typical Left Brain profile of fast growers, but he notes that mortgage REITs in current economic conditions are poised for growth in a hot housing market and says that New York Mortgage Trust offers an 8.5 percent yield -- good enough to qualify as a big income-generator -- with some strong appreciation potential to boot.
