REITs: Is Now the Time to Buy?

This is why I like Seeking Alpha. An inquisitive article to start discussion and educated responses that promote alternatives and caution. Still sitting on the sidelines myself, but my seat-of-the-pants observation is that the first part of the article was the best of the REIT entry points.

With the combination of foreclosures, new baby boomers kids leaving the nest and job concerns, apartment REITs are well positioned for the near term (3-5 year) recovery from wherever the trough happens to be.

Would be interested in any comments from the author or more knowledgeable posters to these observations.
