Not all REITs are created equal. Below are some things to remember when deciding which REIT to invest in.
Evaluate the REIT asset
COL Chief Equity Strategist April Tan advises investors to gauge the quality of the REIT assets as this would determine whether its dividend yields have room to go up.
Go for quality companies
Check the real estate company’s track record and reputation. Are they able to turn over their projects on time? Are their properties well-maintained? Do your due diligence, by getting as much information and reading up on our COL research reports.
Location. Location. Location.
Know if the REIT’s properties are situated in thriving areas. It also helps if their assets are PEZA-accredited, or if there are planned infrastructure projects that will make the area boom such as subways.
