| Commercial and Industrial REITS Master List |
The following list is a Commercial and Industrial List of REITS. We are talking primarily Office Building REITs here, although there are a number of specialty companies that own, for instance, buildings in which the general public can rent storage space for their excess storage needs. As with many REITs some key items to observe are not just the income and FFO thes companies make, but how well they maintain their properties and the percentage of solid leases that are held on the properties. We believe that as of May 1, 2008 The Comm/Indus REITS are near fair value. Valuation from this point forward is almost entirely dependant upon the economy in general. Always diversify and do plenty of research on your potential investments. |
