The Intelligent REIT Investor

Unlocking dividends to help you sleep well at night!

My name is Brad Thomas and I am the author of The Intelligent REIT Investor Guide that will be published in July 2021. I have over 30 years of experience in commercial real estate - 20 years as a real estate developer and 10 years as a writer/analyst.

I am publishing content on Substack as a means to educate investors on the power of investing in real estate securities, or REITs. As I explain in my new book, “REITs have been around for 60 years now. Though it’s only been in the past 30 that they’ve become widely known.”

Most may not be aware that “the REIT industry has increased by more than 75 times, rising from a market cap just under $16 billion to almost $1.33 trillion. Since that’s only about 10%-15% of all institutionally owned commercial real estate, this extremely attractive sector filled with vertically integrated operating companies that still has plenty of room to grow.”

I will be publishing weekly content on Substack in an effort to educate readers on the vast universe of REITs, and the various property sectors and subsectors, as illustrated below:

I hope you will become part of this journey in which I will assist readers with navigating the REIT (pronounced “reet”) universe and helping to unlock the power behind converting rent checks to dividends.

I am one of the most prolific writers in commercial real estate, having authored over 4,000 articles over the past 10 years. I am also the #1 analyst on Seeking Alpha (based on followers), the editor of Forbes Real Estate Investor (newsletter), and the editor of Property Chronicle North America.

Buckle up and get ready for this amazing journey!

And thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
