Gladstone Commercial (NSDQ: GOOD) is a real estate investment trust that leases business real estate and makes mortgage loans to small and medium-sized private businesses.
Gladstone is looking after its investors. They pay dividends monthly, and aim to increase dividend payouts every year.
They help businesses finance real estate in 3 ways: they'll buy the property and then lease it to the business on a long-term basis. They buy property the business already owns, then lease it back to them on a long-term basis. They'll make a long term mortgage loan.
To do this, they work with two sister companies -- Gladstone Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: GLAD) and Gladstone Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: GAIN). They conduct business through Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership that is their operating partnership. Plus, they have a wholly owned subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Partners, LLC.
They were incorporated in Maryland on February 14, 2003. They do have a dividend reinvestment program.
They focus on senior debt, second lien debt, mezzanine debt, secured and unsecured subordinated loans, and equity and real estate sale leasebacks. Investments range from $5 to $30 million.
Some of their tenants/customers include: Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia, Chicago Office Technology Group, Gaylord Brothers, Creme de la Creme, Atlas Paper, MedPlus, Inc, Elster Electricity, Mathey Dearman, and Ace Expediters.
Gladstone Commercial is a REIT to profit from economic growth in the United States. Their mortgage business could hurt them if interest rates go in the wrong direction.
