W.P. Carey's leases tied to inflation will assist in providing income and dividend growth that outpaces inflation. Farmer Mac is a valuable find for investors seeking rapidly increasing dividend payouts.

The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 17% return since it was first covered, and recently raised its dividend by 27%. The company specializes in agricultural financing and rural infrastructure finance, both of which have experienced year-over-year growth to boost earnings. The dividend has consistently increased at a double-digit compound annual growth rate over the past decade.

The Zacks Mortgage & Related Services industry players benefit from expected rate cuts, low competition from banks and strong servicing business. PennyMac Financial Services (PFSI), Federal Agricultural Mortgage (AGM) and Ocwen Financial (OCN) look well-placed for growth.
