89 Future of REITs Will have attractive access to capital / Will continue to delever Fundamentals will still be challenged / Stock prices have anticipated recovery / May be ahead of itself Limited new supply (development) will benefit existing operators M&A activity should pick up Institutional money wants to partner with first class operators who have skin in the game REITs have proven to be an important part of a balanced investment portfolio and are the most effective means for investing in commercial real estate Have we learned any lessons?
