Allen REIT index: beyond the milking stool
Article Abstract:
Growth of a real estate investment trust (REIT) is dependent on successfully using any three methods. The first method is through the purchase of new properties using low-cost capital, and/or expansion through mergers with other REITs. The second method involves development of new products such as land-lease manufactured home communities, or increasing the number of rental homesites in present holdings. The third method is through the administration of cost-cutting measures to increase profit margins.

How investors measure the REITs
Article Abstract:
The rapid growth of real estate investment trusts (REITs) has increased investment and portfolio managers' demands for the disclosure of information to aid in their assessment of performance and risk/reward ratios. Much of their attention will be focused on hard-asset quality or the quality of manufactured communities in the REIT portfolio, quality of management and growth patterns or figures such as rental rates, expansion and acquisition.
