I’ve always disliked the REIT (real estate investment trust) structure in the belief that it forces a company to operate in a highly unnatural way. Mandatory cash distributions forces most REITs to constantly access capital markets. They seem to be in a constant search for cash. In any case, REITs frequently end up over-leveraged, at least to my liking.
