Last year my Small-Cap REIT Portfolio was on fire, returning more than 22%, and I credit much of the success to the time spent on selecting the best unmined REIT gems. As my readers know, I spend a lot of time on research, filtering out over 125 REITs in an attempt to find a dozen or so small-cap REITs flying under the radar.
Currently I have 17 REITs in the Small-Cap REIT portfolio (I recently added UMH and UBA) and the only Strong Buy on the list is City Office REIT(NYSE:CIO). Over the last 30 days the Small-Cap REIT portfolio has returned 3.5%, with much of that growth powered by Ryman Hospitality (NYSE:RHP)+5.6% and Global Medical REIT (NYSEMKT:GMRE) +20.4%.
