High dividends are nice, but high dividends that are safe and have the potential to grow are the holy grail of dividend investing. When this type of dividend stock goes on sale, it's even better. With the poor performance of the real estate sector in 2016, there are good opportunities to get some of these excellent long-term dividend plays at a discount. Here are two great examples you could buy right now.
Retail is not often thought of as a defensive investment, and with some high-profile retail bankruptcies in recent years, it's easy to understand why. However, the real estate side of retail can be a safe investment, especially if you choose a REIT like Kimco Realty (NYSE:KIM), which currently pays a 4.2% dividend yield. One stock that looks particularly appealing in the healthcare real estate space right now is Medical Properties Trust (NYSE:MPW), especially because of its 7.3% dividend yield. The REIT, which invest in hospital properties, trades at a rock-bottom valuation of just nine times its 2017 FFO (funds from operations) guidance.
