Part of my IRA is in real estate investment trusts (REIT), and they've taken a big hit over the last couple of quarters. Most of the investments are in commercial properties, with some in housing, but I keep hearing about a bust in commercial properties.

FREEP advice please! Sell after the loss or hang on through inflation?

I suggest you take the loss and hug any remaining money. Second stage of a crash is around the corner, resets, no buyers, oversupply good for at least 10 years. Only government props held the market in limbo this long just wait until higher interest rates kill off any possible recovery. It’s not going to be a very pretty picture.
