As is often the case, this is not my list. I found this ranking in an interesting article on Seeking Alpha, in which Avi Morris names his choices for this year’s Top 8 REITs for Yield Potential, emphasizing the appeal of their tax-advantaged dividends.

(These REITs are ranked in descending order according to their 2011 yields, which means they’re basically in no particular order when it comes to their potential for 2013.)

- Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE: OHI)

- Senior Housing Properties (SNH)

- EPR, Inc. (NYSE: EPR)

- Sun Communities (NYSE: SUI)

- Campus Crest Communities (NYSE: CCG)

- Highwoods Properties (NYSE: HIW)

- Home Properties (HME)

- HCP (NYSE: HCP)
