Service Properties Trust (SVC)

I like a lot of REITs, but not all of them. Quite a few of them are overleveraged, poorly managed, and own troubled assets. I present three popular REITs to avoid.

The REIT sector has seen back-to-back tough months as it saw a modest average negative total return in September (-0.73%) and fell deeper into the red in October (-4.03%). Small cap REITs (-5.05%) had the worst performance in October. Micro caps (-2.81%), mid caps (-3.11%) and large caps (-4.45%) were also in negative territory albeit to a smaller degree. Only 21.66% of REIT securities had a positive total return in October.

I invest most of my capital in REITs. Even then, I'm bearish on a lot of them. This is a sector in which you need to be very selective to succeed.
