Glad you enjoyed the post.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am primarily an income investor and invest exclusively in dividend paying stocks. Sure, at times, dividend cuts may occur but over the long haul my aim is to continue increasing my passive income stream each month.

Thanks for sharing. I am treading lightly in the biotech space. I don't expect to make GILD or AMGN major holdings in my portfolio but still want to add to those names as opportunities come up.

I just meant that there are a lot of student housing buildings that are very old and in need of serious repair or perhaps even being demolished. These two REITs seem to have found a nic niche in the student housing space either by developing on campus housing or building adjacent apartment units.

I'm not too worried over PR. It kind of reminds me of all the panic we saw with Greece, Ireland, Cyprus and more. In the end it all passed.

I'm a very happy renter but no doubt a home can be curse or a blessing depending on how you treat it financially. No doubt a home offers roots and deep sentiments which to me is the real value of home ownership. It's those intangibles that are much more important than simply treating a home as an investment.

Thanks for the DOC tip. Seems like we like any of the same names going into July.

I never tried DSC. I find it cheaper to buy a quality handle and 100 blades between $8 - $10.

Quite honestly I haven't really looked in depth at the smaller health REIT plays such as NHI, LTC, OHI and DOC that you mention. I was more comfortable starting out with the big three health REITs instead. I'm also looking at other REIT plays that are non-health such as O, WPC, DLR, AVB, GOV and another health REIT, BMR. Obviously, once I feel more comfortable with the smaller plays I'll consider them more closely for my portfolio. Till then, I really have no solid opinion on any of them, DOC included.

Thanks for that vote of confidence. I'll be watching the REITs as volatility increases in the sector.
