We have used mid-infrared selection to find several tens of dust obscured quasars at z>2. We find that many of these objects have host galaxies with high stellar masses, commensurate with their high black hole masses (assuming Eddington-limited accretion rates). In common with some other studies of obscured AGN and quasars we do not find evidence for black hole masses in excess of the local black hole mass - bulge mass relation. The molecular gas content of these objects is small compared to their stellar masses. These observations are all consistent with the quasar hosts being relatively mature systems when observed.
