3 REITs To Sell Before They Do Your Portfolio In
Much like the rest of the real estate market, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have their ups and downs. They are a popular way to get into the business without having to deal directly with property. Right now, many investors are trying to figure out which REITs to sell.
Lately, Many REITs are beginning to feel the effects of the rising interest rates in the U.S. One of the things that affects them is rising borrowing costs. In addition, higher interest rates give them direct competition with other investment options. Finally, higher interest rates also complicate REITs’ refinancing and debt maturities.
In this article, I will analyze three REITs to sell to protect your portfolio and avoid potential losses.
