This REIT is a sensible choice for income investors valuing consistent dividend growth. The REIT has exposure to Western European real estate, limiting its exposure to a downturn in U.S. real estate. Portfolio and dividend coverage stats are very good. Shares are not overpriced on an AFFO basis yet. An investment in the stock yields 5.8 percent. Yield on cost almost guaranteed to rise, long term.
I just added real estate investment trust W.P. Carey Inc. (WPC) to my income portfolio as I believe the company has an attractive valuation based on FFO, and the REIT is well-positioned to deliver organic cash flow and dividend growth over the next couple of years. I see W.P. Carey's reward-to-risk ratio as compelling given the REIT's relatively safe dividend and high cash flow yield.

I don't have a position yet in W.P. Carey, but I'm following the stock, because less than 10% of my portfolio is invested in REIT's and I like to keep this above 10% to have a balanced portfolio.
