Reits come in all flavors. At this time I would be looking into Reits that invest in commercial property and upscale apartments, possibly even a storage Reit. The dividends are very good on most companies and help to cushion the blow if they do indeed fall further before going back up. Interest rates are at least stable and could possibly go lower which is a big plus for Reits, as they can refinance or re-negotiate credit lines. That being said, I would not commit more than 10% of my portfolio at this time. I think it may be a good idea with a little research. Reits come in all flavors.

I think I'll do a lot more research, but if the object is to "buy low".. then I think it might be the time (or near it) to pull the old trigger... NCN BTW.. I've cleaned up the look of my blogroll... and your site is under the pf blogs section... (moved hosting, so widgets and site should be more reliable...)
