REIT Report: Carter Validus keeps on buying

Its acquisition targets, the company says, are property types that it considers “mission critical.” Hence the name of Carter’s two REITs: Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT (CVMC REIT), started in 2010 and now closed to new stock investments; and Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, starter earlier this year and currently raising capital through the sale of common stock.
