Question: What do you think about REIT’S and if you do perhaps you may know a few good ones, such as reasonably priced and paying a decent dividend.
I think one of the better REITs around is SPG, Simon Property Group. $53bn market cap, yielding ~5.5%.
VNQ is also a solid choice. It’s the Vanguard REIT index. $32bn in assets, very liquid, yielding ~4.2%, low expense ratio (0.12%).
If you don't mind me asking ...
What has stimulated your interest in REITs?
I have heard some talk about rehabbing empty office space, malls ect for housing our new friends from south of the boarder...
This would keep the $$ moving and rents (gov assist) flowing.
just talk as far as I know.... but interesting.
