Made another trade for a Health Care REIT on Friday – with the sudden rise in interest rates, Real Estate and REIT’s in particular are getting killed. I already own Sabra Health Care REIT Inc (SBRA) – which pays out a dividend of 9.58% and has held up nicely during the market sell-off. I am trying to add a higher quality Health Care REIT like Ventas Inc. (VTR) to my income portfolio, so I made the following trade:
Sold: 10 November 18, 2022 Puts
Strike Price: $32.50
*Premium Collected: $700.00
If I am forced to buy the 1000 shares, my entry price will be about $31.80 per share – over a 54% discount to VTRs Morningstar Fair Value of $69.00 per share – providing a very comfortable Margin of Safety. Ventas pays a 4.77% dividend – not as good as SBRA’s dividend, but I feel they have a higher quality asset base – looking at this as a long term holding.
