Key Points

  • Price-to-FFO is crucial for valuing REITs, since it adjusts net income to better reflect cash earnings.
  • Debt-to-EBITDA ratio helps compare REIT leverage; high differences can signal financial risk.
  • Assess REITs' cyclical nature and lease terms to gauge economic sensitivity and investment stability.
