Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT (ASX: CQE)

The first ASX dividend share to look at is the Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT. It is a real estate investment trust with a focus on high quality social infrastructure properties. This means properties with specialist use, limited competition, low substitution risk, and long leases. These are properties such as childcare centres and government buildings.

At the end of the first half of FY 2021, the Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT portfolio was 99.7% leased and had a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 14 years. This helped underpin a solid profit result for the period and allowed the company to increase its FY 2021 distribution guidance to 15.7 cents per unit.

Based on the current Charter Hall Social Infrastructure share price of $3.23, this represents a generous 4.9% yield.

Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)

Another ASX dividend share to look at is Rural Funds. Like the Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT, it also enjoys ultra long leases. At the last count, the Australian agricultural-focused property company had a WALE of 11.1 years.

Positively, these leases have fixed rental increases built into them. This means the company is well-positioned to grow its distribution by its target rate of 4% per annum long into the future.

In FY 2021, the company intends to pay a distribution of 11.28 cents per share to its shareholders. After which, Rural Funds has guided to an FY 2022 distribution of 11.73 cents per share.

Based on the current Rural Funds share price of $2.43, this will mean attractive yields of 4.6% and 4.8%, respectively, over the next couple of years.
