Summary

  • From a subscriber request, I take a look at the Welltower REIT. The trust invests in healthcare infrastructure, is amongst the fortune 1000 and a component of the S&P 500.
  • The REIT has an EV of $40B and is the world's largest healthcare REIT, headquartered out of Ohio and lead by current CEO Shankh Mitra.
  • Founded in 1970, this REIT is a favorite for some dividend investors. In this article, I show you why I currently am not interested in buying the REIT's shares.
