Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP)
The first ASX dividend stock to consider for the $2,000 is Centuria Industrial REIT. It is an industrial property company that owns a high-quality portfolio of warehouses, logistics hubs, and distribution centres across Australia.
UBS is a fan of the company. It likes Centuria Industrial REIT due to its defensive assets and long weighted average lease expiry.
The broker believes that it positions the company to pay dividends per share of 16.8 cents in FY 2026 and then 17.9 cents in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $3.45, this equates to dividend yields of 4.9% and 5.2%, respectively.
UBS has a buy rating and $3.95 price target on its shares.
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)
Another ASX dividend stock that could be a buy with the $2,000 is HomeCo Daily Needs REIT.
It is a real estate investment trust with a focus on convenience-based assets across the target sub-sectors of neighbourhood retail, large format retail and health & services.
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT counts retail leaders such as Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) among its largest tenants.
UBS is bullish on the company. It recently highlighted the discount its shares trade on compared to its net tangible assets.
In addition, the broker is forecasting some very generous dividend yields in the near term. It is forecasting dividends per share of 9 cents in FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $1.39, this would mean dividend yields of 6.5%.
UBS currently has a buy rating and $1.53 price target on its shares.
Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)
A third ASX dividend stock that is being tipped as a buy is Rural Funds.
Rural Funds is an owner of a diversified portfolio of farmland, including cattle, vineyards, and cropping properties. These properties are leased to high-quality tenants on long-term agreements.
Bell Potter is positive on the company. It thinks its shares are being undervalued by the market and expects some big yields in the near term.
The broker is forecasting dividends per share of 11.7 cents in both FY 2026 and FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $1.92, this would mean dividend yields of 6.1% for both years.
Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $2.45 price target on Rural Funds' shares.
