I made another small add of WPC today as I build the position. Also Saul Centers (BFS) another triple net REIT yielding 5.8%. All my other buys for BFS were below $40/share so today's buy close enough. ---------------------------------------------- Saul Centers, Inc. (NYSE: BFS) is a self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) based in Bethesda, Maryland, specializing in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties. Overview of Saul Centers Number of Properties: Saul Centers operates a portfolio of 61 properties, which includes 57 shopping centers and 4 land development properties 2 3 . Total Leasable Area: The total leasable area across these properties is approximately 9.8 million square feet 3 5 .
