REITs are veeery interesting animals. They have all kinds of different ways of making money...the industry is fragmented and they are consolidating rapidly, the big ones are buying the disasters and foreclosures from the ones (and the private sector) that couldn't make it, and depreciating the heck out of the buildings at the (inflated) value of the buildings. So they get money from rents, but that's not the whole picture. (BTW Real estate depreciation is how most attorneys legally avoid paying taxes) In ten years there will be just a few monster REITs with monster yield- only way to play this market is in a fund. Ditto with utilities. .
