Healthcare is one of the growth areas in this country. And yes despite Obamacare there are investments here where pay outs are good and safety solid. Healthcare real estate.
In this post I am going to give you two stock selections that I believe provide you with the opportunity to invest in real estate. HCN, Health Care Reit is maybe the best currently. I pays about 5.6% dividend and offers exposure to just about every segment of the healthcare real estate market. HCN is a big company, stock in the S&P 500, and have paid a dividend for many years. These people know what they are doing and do it well. Again, you will not get rich on this one stock, but it is a great way to hit singles and make money regularly.
Another stock I like is SNH, Senior Housing Properties. SNH also exposes you to many areas of health care real estate. It also pays a nice 6.5% dividend. I believe SNH is value priced at $22 or $23 per share and could pay you some capital gains down the line as well.
Presently I am not an investor in most banks. Most of the large banks are just getting back on their feet after a hard two years of the economic crisis. However there is one bank I currently have in my portfolio. NYB, New York Community Bank, serves a niche market in New York state and has recently merged with some smaller banks and now operates in several other states. The niche that NYB serves is financing multi-family housing in the New York City area. It has done well in the business and frankly avoided most of the problems that many larger banks had during the recent economic crisis. NYB also pays a 5.5% dividend. In all this bank will pay you some nice income and I expect as investors begin to see the value in this company the stock price will rise as well.
