Strawberry Fields REIT Inc. CEO Moishe Gubin recently outlined the company's decade-long growth strategy and financial discipline during a podcast appearance. The real estate investment trust, which specializes in properties leased to skilled nursing and other healthcare businesses, has maintained a conservative distribution approach that reinvests significant capital into property acquisitions while delivering consistent financial performance.
The company's financial strategy involves distributing only 45-50% of its adjusted funds from operations while reinvesting the remainder into expanding its property portfolio. This disciplined approach has resulted in consistent 11% annual growth in AFFO per share over multiple years, demonstrating the effectiveness of the company's capital allocation and financial management practices. The company's portfolio spans 10 states and includes 142 healthcare facilities with more than 15,500 beds, comprising 130 skilled nursing facilities, 10 assisted living facilities, and two long-term acute care hospitals.
Gubin emphasized the company's strategic focus on addressing the needs of America's aging population through its healthcare property investments. The REIT's portfolio has achieved a remarkable track record of 100% rent collection across all properties, highlighting the stability and reliability of its healthcare tenant base. The properties are located throughout Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, providing geographic diversification while maintaining operational consistency.
The company maintains a strategic approach to property evaluation and management that positions Strawberry Fields REIT for continued growth and operational success.
