Wrote up $ELME after they stealth-dropped their 10-K on Friday after the market close. Biggest problem asset (Watergate 600) under contract, trades at 15% - 20% discount to liquidation value.

So if I had to hazard a guess today, I think we'll see a strong 1-2 years in 2027-2028 but then revenue / NOI growth returns to the 2.5% - 3.5% range thereafter instead of 4-5 very strong years. All barring an actual recession as it seems we don't really have those anymore...

As we see more data on where US MF starts are levelling off, I'm getting more skeptical of REIT management claims that the next ~5 years could look like the post-GFC period of super-charged rent / NOI growth...

What is real will be the benefit of incentives rolling off even if market fundamentals only "normalize".
$MAA cite competitors offering 1.25 months on average and 2-3 months for lease-up props.
Represents 10% - 25% increase in rent/revenue as they roll off.

From the $MAA NAREIT REITWeek deck - green shoots in leasing with blends turning positive in May as new lease rates improve (albeit to a less negative number).
UK logistics transaction comparable - Tritax sells ~£200m portfolio to EQT Exeter at a 5.65% NIY (assuming 6.8% purchase costs). Limited details but very mid not prime locations.
@avikXm Something like 6 years later, I continue to vacillate between whether this fact makes REIT investing more interesting or more likely to be time wasted. Doubly so given where we are in the interest rate cycle and with fears of stagflation on the horizon.
@kingdomcapadv@JeffBeckMadDog Solid price. Over $300k a unit and looks like a mid 5% cap rate. Unless sales under contract drop out, this is effectively all wrapped up and net liquidation value looks like ~$2.30 per share...
@JeffBeckMadDog Found one I've done no work on! My impression from afar has always been they've bought pretty bottom tier assets at high yields to make things work for the external manager...
@Mr_Neutral_Man Hard to step in front of a potential AI + recession freight train bearing down on office-using jobs but the supply picture is... Striking
After six years of pain and amidst worries about AI-driven job losses, tech headcount reductions, and the rising specter of a recession - could office fundamentals actually be positioned to lead major RE sectors over the next 12 months?
