More of a lender in real estate. Commercial real estate has had issues. Yield is over 10%. Trading 20% below book value. Lots of loans are floating rate, so rate increases have helped. Numbers cover the payout ratio. Wait for markets to revalue the company. When rates come down, can grow again.
In the income bucket, with dividend yield in high 9% range currently. Well managed, good capital allocator. Could be seeing an increase in transactions, so might gain market share or just benefit from increased volumes. If you hold, you're just looking to capture the spread on interest from making loans. This part of the market is pretty secure, with the sustained commercial recovery underway.
