MURFREESBORO - National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE:NHI), a healthcare REIT with a market capitalization of $3.79 billion and trading near its 52-week high of $82.86, has invested $74.3 million to acquire four senior housing properties with 344 units in Oklahoma and Oregon, according to a press release statement issued Thursday.According to InvestingPro analysis, NHI has maintained dividend payments for 35 consecutive years, currently offering a 4.61% yield, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors.

"We have been exploring avenues to grow with Compass since our first investment with them last year," said Eric Mendelsohn, President and CEO of NHI.
Dennis Garboden, President of Compass Senior Living, expressed enthusiasm about the transaction, noting the company is "excited about the road ahead for these excellent four locations."
