Most income investors have long-term horizons. That is, they want to collect dividends not for just a year or two, but indefinitely into the future. And to accomplish that, they often choose recession-proof industries, such as healthcare. The problem is that many solid healthcare companies have become household names. Due to their popularity, their share prices have already been bid up.
I want to show you a slightly different healthcare income play. The company does not operate like a traditional healthcare business, yet it manages to offer a recession-proof yield much higher than most stocks in the current market. I’m talking about Senior Housing Properties Trust (NASDAQ:SNH), a real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts. Now, you are probably wondering how a REIT can have anything to do with healthcare. Well, that’s because Senior Housing Properties Trust is not the average real estate company.
