You know, I always love a good REIT story. And I’m always looking to invest in quality REITs. But there has been a turn in the strong REIT market this year. As I took a deep dive into the top three artists over the past three months, I realized something surprising: there’s only one I’d keep my hard-earned money in today! Now, sometimes the best performers can point to a recovery story and still have enough legs to run. But at other times, they can also look too expensive after a rally, and valuations alone can be a reason to stay away. This time the rating is not the problem. Most REITs, especially the smaller caps, have underperformed so badly in recent years that even after this strong run, I don’t think these top performers are overvalued. So the reason I’m not allocating money to two of these REITs is because of other risks I see as I dig deeper. And even for the ones I hold, I also see risks, but whether they materialize will depend very much on management’s actions. That’s why in this video I want to show you why I don’t chase some of these top performers, even though they have outperformed the rest of the market. And most importantly, what I need to see before I’m ready to invest. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that this video is for informational purposes only and not financial advice. Always do your own research and consult a licensed financial advisor before making any investment decisions. I own some of the REITs discussed, but what works for me may not work for you. Let’s dive in. ===== Gearing ratio chart of Suntec REIT from www.REIT-tirement.com…
