Real estate investment trusts offer investing alternative

BY TIM GRANT, TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The average investor isn’t going to buy into a shopping mall or an apartment building. But investing in real estate can be a useful way to diversify a portfolio.

That’s why, especially when interest rates are low, fixed-income investors looking for alternative investments to maintain sufficient yield are giving more attention to real estate investment trusts.

Real estate investment trusts, also called REITs, allow investors to passively invest in real estate without directly owning property.

REITs are a hybrid because they trade like stocks, but they are different from stocks of regular companies because they invest in income-producing real estate, such as apartment buildings, hotels, office buildings, hospitals and shopping centers.

There are currently 14 such trusts featured in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock market index.

Although they occupy a relatively small niche in the financial sector,

the market share is growing. REIT Magazine reported in April that mergers and acquisitions of such trusts are on the rise. There were $17.4 billion in merger and acquisitions deals in 2014; $43.8 billion in 2015; and $50.6 billion in 2016.

“Yield-seeking investors who choose to add REIT funds to their portfolio must remain cautious,” said Thomas Walsh, a portfolio manager with Palisades Hudson Financial Group in Atlanta. “While REIT funds offer good yield, like all other equities, they are volatile.

“But because REITs don’t typically move with the stock market, it’s one way to increase yield without increasing risk. It’s a way to diversify,” he said.

He recommends investors limit such investments to 7.5 percent to 10 percent of their equity allocation.

One of the big advantages of investing in real estate investment trusts is they must pay out at least 90 percent of income to investors.

Howard Davis, president of the Davis,

Davis & Associates accounting firm in Pittsburgh, said the distributions are taxable. That is not a problem for investors who have such holdings in their retirement plans because that income is deferred until the investor begins taking distributions at retirement age.

“A lot of times, a REIT investment is better off in a retirement plan,” Davis said. “But if you are paying taxes on REIT income, you have to consider that the value of the REIT itself fluctuates. If the REIT is not doing well, you could be paying taxes on an investment where the principle might be down.”

Benjamin Greenfeld, chief investments officer for Waldron Private Wealth, said his Pittsburgh-area firm’s exposure to such trusts increases or decreases as market conditions and valuations change. He doesn’t believe it’s a good idea to invest in the trusts in order to chase higher yields.

“We do think REITs have a longterm growth perspective on top of the income payouts,” Greenfeld said. “If interest rates are rising for the right

reasons — such as a strengthening economy, declining unemployment or payroll increases — then REITs can benefit.”

“While in the short run there could be volatility from rising rates, if these other characteristics exist, then REITs can pass on rent increases, which helps valuations and cash flow.”

According to the Washington, D.C.-based website, REIT.com, which analyzes the macro- and microeconomic fundamentals impacting the REIT and commercial real estate industry, operating fundamentals are strong across nearly all property types and geographic markets.

Apartment markets continue to enjoy strong renter demand, especially in coastal markets. Office buildings owned by real estate investment trusts are finding steady tenant demand.

Retail, however, reported weakness in store traffic including bankruptcies in light of the broader challenge of e-commerce, according to REIT.com.

Advisers at Signature Financial

Planning in Pittsburgh use all types of REITs in their client portfolios, which include publicly traded ones as well as non-traded versions. The non-traded ones are securities not listed on any exchange, but sold through brokers and financial advisers.

“REITs are the best and simplest way for average investors to gain access to meaningful real estate investments,” said Aaron Leaman, chief financial officer at Signature Financial Planning.

But investors should keep in mind that the trusts are riskier than bonds, and when it comes to non-traded REITs, they can be illiquid and carry expensive management fees. The trusts also are subject to the whims of the real estate market.

“If you invested in REITs in 2006 and 2007, you had a horrible time when the real estate market crashed,” Leaman said.

“But if you invested in 2009 and 2010, you made a ton of money because you got in at the bottom of the market. REITs can be very volatile.” ■

NEWSWIRE

2140 Bent Creek Drive | $825,000 Optimism toward the U.S. economy and real estate market rose across all generations of current and prospective homeowners in Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ latest Homeowner Sentiment Survey released today by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Rocky Mountain Realtors. However, rising interest rates continue to be a concern among prospective homeowners — Millennials in particular — who reported a sense of urgency to buy before mortgage rates rise further.

Overall, 62 percent of prospective homeowners and 61 percent of current homeowners said they are satisfied with the U.S. economy, with respondents from both groups overwhelmingly reporting that the general economic outlook is a critical factor impacting their real estate decisions.

When looking at views toward the real estate market, 68 percent of prospective homeowners and 70 percent of current homeowners hold a favorable view, an increase of 5 percentage points and 4 points, respectively, from the last wave of the survey . Nearly half of current homeowners cited lower interest rates as the top reason for their favorability toward the market; 43 percent of this group also pointed to the increased value of real estate as a factor driving favorability.

“In Colorado Springs, all price ranges are improving. Homes under $400,000 have experienced the greatest appreciation. Homes in the higher price ranges have not seen much if any appreciation. However, the number of high end sales has definitely increased. Three years ago, you could be priced right and your home still wouldn’t sell. Today, if you’re priced competitively, your home probably will sell,” said real estate agent Becky Gloriod.

Respondents are also encouraged by accelerating home construction, with three out of four citing a rise in available homes created by new construction as a factor contributing to market momentum. Additionally, 75 percent of current and 83 percent prospective homeowners cited increased construction in urban centers, offering homeownership options close to places of employment, as a top factor.

“Optimism in the real estate market and economy are at levels we have not seen since we first began fielding this survey in 2015,” said Gino Blefari, president and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “Mortgage rates remain near historic lows even with recent upticks, and we’re seeing rising wages, job growth and construction rates, which continue to make homeownership a compelling and realistic investment for many Americans.”

INTEREST RATES REMAIN TOP CONCERN; HOUSING INVENTORY STILL TIGHT Optimism notwithstanding, uncertainties related to rising interest rates persist, especially among Millennials (defined in the survey as people ages 18-34). A full 68 percent of prospective Millennial homeowners said they feel a sense of urgency to buy a home as interest rates may continue rising, and one in five reported a desire to buy a home before mortgage rates increase. Moreover, 55 percent of this group also reported “feeling discouraged” about buying a home due to the prospects of rising rates.

“The sense of urgency expressed by Millennials shows they understand the advantages of locking in a low mortgage rate now,” Blefari said. “However, we also recognize rising interest rates can make the home-buying process feel challenging. It’s important to remember that interest rates and mortgage rates remain low by historical standards, and with guidance from a skilled real estate professional, prospective buyers can be empowered to find a home that meets their needs and financial objectives.”

A tight supply of available homes in many markets — particularly at lower and entry-level price points — presents another challenge for buyers. Builders this year are responding with more focus on lower-priced homes, according to buildertrade groups, which may serve as an important nudge to hesitant Millennials. In the survey, 70 percent of prospective homeowners said they are willing to wait — even with the likelihood of rising mortgage rates — to buy a home that suits CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Stringent lending policies and the escalating costs of homeownership have led many prospective home buyers to consider condominiums instead of single-family homes.

Condos are typically less expensive than single-family homes, which makes lenders and borrowers alike feel more GARDEN OF comfortable.

MOST IMPORTANT NEIGHBORHOOD FEATURE Respondents made a surprising top choice for the most important neighborhood feature: friendly neighbors.

Prospective homebuyers ranked “friendly neighbors” (50 percent) ahead of financial considerations such as the “accurate market value of a home” (39 percent) and “confidence that the home will be a good investment in the future” (37 percent). Other neighborhood characteristics valued by prospective homebuyers included walkability (45 percent) and a good school district (41 percent).

Large, walk-in closets topped the list of home amenities sought by current and prospective homeowners, ahead of patios/balconies and hardwood floors. Respondents cited energy-efficient appliances and smart-home features such as learning thermostats and automated lighting as the most important trends in home interior design.

“It will be interesting to see how rising consumer optimism plays out in the spring and summer home-buying buying seasons,” said Blefari. “All real estate is local — each market has its own characteristics and conditions. Contact your local real estate professional to learn how you may take advantage in the current environment.”
