UPREITs: their time has come for the chosen few

Article Abstract:

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) drew strong market demand in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, REIT demand declined when interest rates increased in 1994, making other financial instruments more secure options as investments. In addition, transferors faced tax problems in a direct property transfer to a REIT. Umbrella partnership REITs (UPREITs) were formed to offset tax and debt losses for property owners.
