No, I am not investing in REITs at the present time. I am into short sale foreclosure properties. More work but a bigger bang for the buck.

Good luck to you down there in LV. Up here in Reno we have a ton of foreclosures which, I know, doesn’t match your numbers.

I'm curious to see if you're still investing in REIT given the current market? I'm a realtor in Las Vegas, and I'm seeing so much potential in our foreclosures right now that I would recommend a client consider investing in properties than REITs. What are your thoughts? Keep up the great info. Felipe Crook Prudential Americana Group Realtors Las Vegas Tom, great post about REIT. I’m curious to see if you’re still investing in REIT given the current market?

An education usually means you can read. If you can read, you can understand REITs. The best reading you can do on any REIT is everything in their prospectus plus the "scoop" on it on the various investment sites. BMX – Being a civil engineer means you have an education.

I hope you find something you like. I had planned on putting up a page on various investments on my senior citizen resource oriented site but can't seem to squeeze out the time. Regardless, thanks for the comment. Gregory – You are more than welcome. I hope you find something you like.

The returns are still quite high, on a comparative basis, so they are worth a look see. Hi Glenn,

You are 100% right on with the key being “qualified” investor. The returns are still quite high, on a comparative basis, so they are worth a look see.

They are harder to find and have high minimums but they might be worth seeking out. I’m not recommending any particular REIT, do your homework or consult a professional.
