One Liberty Properties is a diversified REIT with a heavy focus on industrial and retail/service-oriented properties. Specialized REITs tend to outperform diversified REITs, but each diversification strategy should be evaluated individually. The dividend may be tempting. However, OLP has recently delivered a modest AFFO per share growth, no DPS growth, and is accompanied by a high AFFO payout ratio.
