In this episode of Capital Compass, we move from passive observer to active evaluator, stepping into the role of a REIT analyst. We’ll break down the critical tools and metrics professionals use to assess real estate investment trusts — from funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted FFO to debt ratios, payout policies, and sector comparisons. More than just numbers, this is about learning how to separate a solid, income-generating REIT from one that could drain your portfolio. If you’ve ever wondered how the pros sift through the data to uncover winners and avoid pitfalls, this episode gives you the analytical lens you need to invest with confidence.
