Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star Staka, offered a balanced take on the opportunity:
Positive:-High yield, low PE, simple business model leveraged to FED stupidity (which is guaranteed)-Recent correction has brought valuation back below tangible book, good entry point
Negative:-Terrible last quarter shows the dangers tied to these REITs but I think they will not be realized in earnest until money printing stops (still more than a year away, if ever)
