Summary

72% Informative

Ventas (VTR) and W.P. Carey (WPC) have both cut their dividend in recent years .

Ventas ' 2.8% dividend yield is well below that of WPC 's 5.6% yield.

WPC is among the most diversified REITs you can buy, with assets across the warehouse, industrial, and retail sectors.

W.P. Carey is a well-run healthcare REIT that recognizes the importance of returning value to shareholders via regular dividend increases.

Ventas may be looking for an exit plan with Ventas at this point, but I have no intention of replacing W.p. Carey .

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor has quadrupled the return of S&P 500 since 2002 .
