Re: REIT - BRSP, EPR, MPW and UNIT

I own MPW & EPR (EPR is my favorite and started building a position early this year). Passed on UNIT and have not really looked at BRSP.

MPW is a medical healthcare REIT was having some problems w/ debt on a few properties. Have not added but also own OHI & DOC. You might look at DOC. It seems to be a good medical REIT candidate.

You can see my complete pot(s) on EPR if you do an Advanced search using the ticker EPR.

building a position in specialty REIT Entertainment Properties Trust (EPR)

Entertainment Properties Trust (EPR) -
( they own 51 Theater properties where tenant has declared BK. Tenant is restructuring and/or properties may/could be converted to AMZN warehouses (AMZN has discussed buying some/all of the properties) 7.8% div

I have also been finding value in REITs and just started to build a position in EPR (closed out position in 5/2022 at $54/share, bought a few this week at $39.60/share.

I currently have a 60% position in EPR w/ an average cost of $39.74/share. Sold some of my high price shares earlier this year to lower my average cost. Have a GTC Sell at/near $52.

Have Sells in 2022 between $49-$53
------------------------------------------------------

The key is to look at FCF and that must be positive and better if it is growing.

EPR vs VICI - REITs

I bought my EPR position earlier this year about the same time you posted your interest.

Been selling some of my high cost shares and maybe a basket of VICI & EPR would be best. VICI still expensive so have added it to my watch list. I also added some O but they own different type of properties and leases.

This guy does a good job of summarizing EPR vs VICI. His conclusion is EPR is the 'VALUE' pick based on price to FCF but carries more risk.

Re: Entertainment Properties Trust (EPR)

Didn't know if you finally added this to your portfolio but I have owned a few shares w/ several small buys 1/2023; 2/2023, 3/2023 & 4/2023 ranging from $37 - $42 per share. The dividend yield at the time was good averaging 8% (ROC). Have peeled off my high cost shares over the period 10/2023 through 5/2024 as the market moved higher (highest price I got was $48 and lowest was $42).

Have only a tiny tracking position left.

Vail Resorts (MTN) is another similar REIT but focused on skiing resorts exclusively. Earnings were last week and they were not that impressive and the stock sold off 10%. Both companies cater to customers seeking entertainment and leisure activities.

Vail Resorts Reports Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Results, Provides Updated Fiscal 2024 Guidance, and Provides Early Season Pass Sales Results

I am thinking of closing out my EPR tracking and perhaps reentering at a significantly lower price. However, EPR has revenue streams from summer activities so may not see the same fall off at MTN.

Here is what Perplexity AI concluded: perplexity.ai

The one big advantage keeping me in the EPR position is their high dividend yield compared to what I can get in my Treasury Money fund yielding 5%.

Did you ever start a position in EPR? If so, still have it and any thoughts on the sector in general?
