About this product
Product Information
The new Fourth Edition of the definitive handbook on investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which provide some of the best total returns in the investment world, along with above-average dividend yields and stable earnings, have become increasingly popular with both individual and institutional investors. Investing in REITs, Fourth Edition has established itself as the definitive guide to understanding this attractive asset class. The book is invaluable for investors, financial planners, and investment advisers interested in understanding REITs and REIT investment opportunities. As their earnings and dividends are beginning to grow again after the Great Recession--and as they are in a unique position to take advantage of distressed sale opportunities--now is an excellent time for investors to consider REITs for both diversification and strong total returns. The new edition covers: A comprehensive history of the REIT industry How REITs compare with other competitive investments How to spot blue-chip REITs and control investment risk How to value individual REIT stocks, and REIT shares generally How to build a diversified REIT portfolio, directly or with REIT mutual funds Understanding the risk-and-reward dynamics of commercial real estate Assessing non-US REITs and how to invest in them Important new developments and strategies in the REIT industry Author Ralph L. Block, who has been investing in REIT stocks for 40 years and is widely considered a leading authority on REITs, brings the historical success of Investing in REITs right up to date. This book is an essential read for both individuals and institutions who desire to invest in commercial real estate through REIT stocks.

Additional Praise for Investing in REITs, Fourth Edition ?I have enjoyed reading Ralph's insightful and refreshing commentary on the REIT industry for years, and his REIT guide is an invaluable resource for those of us who work in the industry and also invest in REIT stocks. His extensive knowledge comes through clearly in an easy-to-follow guide for both the novice and real estate expert.' ?Robert Elms, Head of Debt & Equity Placement, Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. Praise for Previous Editions of Investing in REITs ?For over thirty years, Ralph Block has observed and studied Real Estate Investment Trusts and has accumulated a storehouse and reservoir of knowledge and insights, which in this book he dispenses to the reader'simply, lucidly and logically. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the growing market of REITs.' ?Milton Cooper, Chairman & CEO, Kimco Realty Corporation ?Ralph Block has long advocated the merits of investing in REITs, and investors who have heeded his advice have profited handsomely. By making complicated issues accessible for investors of all types, Investing in REITs provides a great introduction to an investment vehicle that offers solid returns, moderate risk, and good diversification benefits.' ?Mike Kirby, Cofounder, Green Street Advisors ?In a clear, direct, and authoritative manner, Ralph Block provides and opens an extensive and illuminating window on investing in real estate investment stocks. He fully explains the story of REITs, flags their investment attributes, and underlines their role in a diversified portfolio. I highly recommend it to the investor considering REITs for the first time, as well as the investor with some knowledge about and experience with real estate stocks.' ?Steven A. Wechsler, President and CEO, The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ?REIT investing has always been something of a ?no-man's land? in the investment world. Common stock investors often look at REITs as real estate while real estate investors consider REITs to be stocks. Ralph Block has written a wonderful book that sheds light on an asset class that is becoming an increasingly important building block for the well-diversified portfolio.' ?Roger C. Gibson, CFA , Author of Asset Allocation: Balancing Financial Risk ?The well-informed author has written the most complete and easy-to-read book about real estate investment trusts yet. The stunning graphics are matched by excellent detailed information concisely arranged.'? The Los Angeles Times ?Ralph Block has made the world of REITs accessible to all. This is a superb book for every investor.' ?Tom Gardner, cofounder of The Motley Fool ? Finally, a book that demystifies REIT s for both armchair investors and seasoned professionals. Investing in REITs by Ralph Block is a balanced, clearly written guide that fills a major void in today's investment literature.' ?Jonathan Litt, Senior Real Estate Analyst, Salomon Smith Barney ?Whether you're an individual or institutional investor, you won't find a better primer on REIT investing. Ralph Block takes the complex issues that must be addressed to produce above-average results when investing in REITland, and makes them simple and easy to understand. A must for every serious REIT investor's library, and a fun read, to boot.' ?Geoffrey Dohrmann, Publisher and Editor in Chief, Institutional Real Estate Securities ? Investing in REITs is a must-read for anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of this thriving sector of the capital markets. Given the continued transformation of private real estate to the public markets, this book is an essential resource for students, individual and institutional investors, and anyone else interested in understanding the REIT market.' ?David J. Hartzell, Distinguished Professor of Finance and Real Estate and Director of the Real Estate Program, The Kenan-Flager Business School, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
