Eight of the ten largest publicly traded firms in the real estate sector are paying dividends in excess of their earnings per share - (WELL, PLD, EQIX, AMT, DLR, O, PSA, VTR). That means these firms are dipping into reserves or financing the payment of dividends to investors.
The big push on "back to office" is driven by the FED attempting to find a means to shore up real estate loans that are coming up for refinancing in the post covid world with lower occupancies and higher interest rates. The problem is greatly exacerbated by the massive federal debt and budget deficit which has taken aware their ability to drive rates lower because buyers don't want low yield US Treasuries.
These firms are buying up single-family housing stock? You shacking up in medical offices, storage building and data centers?
