“REIT, Sleep, Repeat,” that’s my new mantra, and especially the stress-free command that stands for “sleeping well at night.”As many of you know, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been volatile of late, but that’s primarily due to the lack of understanding. In May, the New Money Portfolio returned 3.9%. EPR has returned -15.6% in around two years, and because of this pullback I opted to rate this REIT a Strong Buy. Consequently, I upgraded the REIT from a Buy to Strong Buy, and since that time shares have returned more than 11%. The New York-based REIT’s primary business strategy is to originate and securitize first mortgage loans on stabilized, income-producing, commercial real estate properties.
