It says to use Funds From Operations instead of net income, as depreciation and sales of properties can cloud the view of an REIT's dividend paying ability. http://www.investopedia.com/articles/04/112204.asp Here is an interesting investopedia article on valuing REITS.

I'm up over 80% for the TTM ended Feb 28 buying the Vanguard REIT index fund via an employee sponsored 401k plan. From the markets low on March 9 to date, REITs have largely outperformed the S&P. VGSIX up over 120%, while S&P up less than 80%. Thanks for the article. On the Equity REIT side - interested in what you're thoughts are on storage, possibly PSA.

The debt numbers out there right now are still shocking. This is one of the problems I do have with REIT ETFs they tend to bring together residential and commercial into one pile and the quality can be suspect- sometimes a big shovel is necessary to get through all the junk.

I particularly like apartment REITs more than any other type because when people lose their homes, they have to live somewhere and the most obvious choice is renting. The thing that bothers me about REITs is that so many of them carry so much debt.
