maybe the REITs can be patient by just lowering their dividends and selling more shares. or sell more shares to cover the dividend payments and other fiscally prudent measures.

so are you saying the rental market is weak in the LA area? That article from CNN said LA rentals were strong. But anyway has this rental weakness in the middle of a strong home buying market ever occurred down there before? We've never seen it here. I'm at a loss as to guesstimating real estate as an investment here. It seems like no one would buy when renting is this easy and cheap. I don't know. BTW the rental market in N CA was strong in the early 90s, unlike your area. I had a whale of a time trying to find a house to rent here in 92. I have never seen rentals like this, ever.
