re: mgmt of hotel reits. Depends on the REIT. Some hotel reits contract out operation of hotels. Marriott reit - if I am correct-- split into two separate companies, ownership and management, for example. Sometimes, some of the hotel reits contract out the running of the hotels to private management companies that are owned by the same people who run the reit. There, that would be a possible conflict of interest I'd want to be alert to. With LHO, they are small and run their own hotels. With FCH, they run their own stuff and also manage some of the properties in which they are joint owners I believe. N, I'm with you on office rental. Still own all I've bought there. And apt. rental too. Have no retail other than MLS. Holding on to GTA at a loss.
