Leasing to a place that never runs out of money...pretty good business model if I do say so myself. I'd put maybe 1.5-2% in here.

Leases office space to the government, the government never runs out of money (just raises taxes). And Government Properties pays a big dividend (7.9%). Sounds like a winner!

Government Properties (GOV) gathers deposits from the general public within its market area and invests those deposits primarily in loans, debt obligations issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies, and mortgaged-backed securities. The Company was formed to invest in properties that are leased to government tenants. The Company is a subsidiary of HRPT Properties Trust (HRPT). The few analysts that follow it seem not to like it.

At the current price of about 26, the p/e is about 25, and the dividend is over 6¼%. Dvidends are paid on a quarterly basis. The 52 week price range is 21.31--28.53.

Giving the increasing reach of the government, this service corp will probably see some modest gains.

Little debt and a decent dividend. Rock solid customer (I mean they can print as much money as they want to pay their rent). I like it.

Been looking for a good real estate investment now that real estate is finally coming back just like everything else did. Might as well be government owned
