When it comes to a discussion of real estate investment trusts (REITs), I do get comments on both sides of the spectrum.
The beginners to wealth building can easily relate to the benefits and the pitfalls of using them as an investment (you can read about these in depth in my FREE REITs Training Center).
At the same time, I do get feedback from more savvy active investors telling me REITs are financial engineered vehicles, they are low return, a dumping ground for parent companies. We should steer clear of them.
Are these savvy investors correct?
I think the primary basis of sustainable investment is adequate respect given to price you pay versus the intrinsic value.
There is always a value to different kinds of assets, it is whether you have the data and competency to value them well.
