REITRating is REITNote's Real Estate Investment Trust industry-specific rating and ranking system. The REIT’s score for each analysis is out of ten points, with ten being the best score and zero being the worst. A score of zero can be assigned if the REIT does not meet the criteria for that specific analysis. N/A is assigned if insufficient data is available for a particular analysis. Our REITRating logic is continuously improving, so a REIT’s rating and ranking may change over time. Important Note: REITRating is not a predictor of a REIT’s future performance, it is an evaluation of its past results. Additionally, the REITRating system is for informational purposes only and does not represent financial or investment advice or a recommendation of which REITs to acquire. Learn more.

Summary: Neutral Not Buy Overvalued
I’m familiar with the Essex’s Multifamily properties; they own large buildings many of which are upscale communities. The REIT focuses on two states (CA, WA) and in many top tech cities. Although their properties are in huge markets with strong purchasing power, I would like a more geographically diversified portfolio, even within the US. The high stock price, low dividend yield, and a stock price that’s been flat for at least the LTM keep me from investing at this time. - DividendFinder - 2018-09-18 23:26:50 PDT
