Anyone have any good articles on the performance of REITs

I was just wondering what is the return on investment / cash flow of REITs.

There is an opportunity presented to me, which would return ~ 13% return (just the cash flow), however that is leverage 3:1.

Just wondering how this compared to the returns REITs give.

Thanks

 

There is a ton of information about REITs on the internet, just use Google.

As far as your deal is concerned, make sure you aren't being Madoffed.

 

You should be able to buy a few REITS, collect dividends, sell some calls against them, and collect 13% without any leverage.

 

.....during a sustained bull market.

 

or even a flat market

 

There is a good book out about REITs (how to select them) by a guy named Ralph Block.
