Notes on SFR REITs

Posted by John McClelland on October 06, 2013 in  uncategorized
Just finished reading a transcript of a Silver Bay discussion at the JPM Securities Financial Services and Real Estate Conference.

Trepp takes a look at the impacts of rising interest rates on REITs. While it is fairly clear that Mortgage REITs can be very sensitive to the interest rate factor, equity REITs stand differently, both in terms of borrowing costs and what interest rates do to the overall consumer spending. http://www.housingwire.com/news/2013/07/17/investors-steer-clear-reits-due-rising-interest-rates      ... read more
