## Resource

REITs have underperformed for 25 years, but could the next decade be different? Jussi Askola joins us to look at where REITs stand today, how they are valued, and where investors may find the best opportunities. We discuss how to value REITs using NAV and FFO, why management quality matters, and which sectors look most attractive, including data centers, cell towers, multifamily, retail, and office. We also compare public and private real estate and explore what could drive REIT returns over the next 10 years. To go beyond the podcast: Take the guesswork out of investing, taxes, and retirement.
