In a presentation (late 2017?) the CEO stated they'd like to get the payout ratio below 80% before raising the dividend. Nothing further was added; I got no sense of how rigid that intention is. But as you did below, it lets us calculate a ballpark estimate of what amount of net deployment might be needed.

A net deployment of $100M (without issuing new equity) at 15% would result in an increase of $0.20 cash flow per share (using data on page 13 of the May 2018 investor's presentation). Given a current dividend of $1.62, that's a bit more than 12% of the current dividend. I believe that they are unlikely to get 15% and I wouldn't mind a little bit of caution through a lower payout ratio. So 7% looks doable even with my conservatism.
