[QUOTE="Benben, post: 3442631, member: 25133"] In general, Reits borrow and leverage to purchase properties which they then rent out for their profits which in turn pays for the distributions. Following the 2008 market meltdown the Feds instituted ZIRP(Zero Interest Rate Policy. You know the same policy that has us making .01% on our bank checking and savings accounts.) During ZIRP it was stupid easy to make millions hand over fist if you could borrow and leverage millions. Now the Fed is and has been raising interest rates (since about the last 2 years of the Obama term) and the margins for REITs are coming under pressure. For a little understanding or insight into REITS don't just look at the numbers "since inception"from the Prudential site. Google stocks OHI, ARCT, HPT, SIR or ARR. Then hit the 5 year or 10 year stock price chart. This will give you a little insight. [/QUOTE]
