Wayne,

First of all the dividend they send is taxable and the news releases you see is all dividend pay out. I would have to go back to my records which are not stored here to see what the non taxable pay outs were. As I recall I was getting 20% to 30% over and above the dividend which was not taxable. This non taxable pay out depends on the assets and the schedule of depreciation they have set up when the properties were purchased.

IMO the large factor when investing in reits is what is the management paying for new properties. If they are paying top price for the new properties the return on investment goes down as the rents go down. I started investing in reits during the RTC crises. I went to the Library and found a couple of books that had models to evaluate the assets. I can not remember the names of these books, but there were only a couple of books on this subject.
