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.
