I Lost 90%! (AVOID THESE REITS)

I lost 90% on this REIT! REITs can lead to large losses if you pick the wrong ones. I take a look at what went wrong and what you can learn from my mistake so that you can avoid such losses. In short, I underestimated the leverage of the REIT because I underappreciated the impact of capex spending on the flexibility of its balance sheet. Not all my REIT investments are successful! You can access my entire REIT Portfolio by taking a 2-week free trial to my REIT newsletter, High Yield Landlord: https://seekingalpha.com/checkout?service_id=mp_1268 Please follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/askjussi and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

CBL & Associates Properties (CBL) went bankrupt during the pandemic and this REIT bankruptcy cost me over 90%. The issues: too much debt, mall assets, bad management, high capex, struggling department stores, and retailers defaulting on leases. 

Many office REITs are facing similar issues regarding capex. This includes REITs like SL Green (SLG), Vornado Realty Trust (VNO), and Boston Properties (BXP).
