I was only attempting to clarify what such a REIT may contain, as an example of the type of facilities an investor may wish to consider. These vehicles which specialize in apartment complexes are also doing well, which would indicate that rental properties are more in demand, so investor should consider holding off on flipping. Your point on low leverage (or at least how leveraged they are) is important for evaluating any type of REIT if you are considering investing in one. My post was simply playing with the idea that investors who are looking to buy properties could consider the trends in such stocks as a way to see what form of property they should purchase.Thank you for pointing that out, and for coming in to comment.
