Real Estate - Investing In REITS

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?

Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout.  And the timing for this has never been better.

You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that sends penny stock prices through the roof.

We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time flat.

Now back to the question at hand, “Can we still make money in real
estate?”

I believe yes and here is why.  While buying and flipping houses may not be profitable anymore, there are a number of other ways to capitalize on what is going on.

Most people invest in real estate through the purchase of REITs.  REITS
are simply companies that own and manage real estate that provides dividend income and long-term capital gains to investors.  Recently the REIT market has fallen on hard times because of its ties to real estate.

Within the group of REITs that are publicly traded, there is a small
subset of companies that are focused exclusively in the healthcare space.  These REITs invest primarily in the real estate of hospitals, patient care centers, complexes for doctor offices and elder care facilities (they don't actually run or manage the facility).

Healthcare REITs are more closely tied to the state of the healthcare
industry than the real estate industry.  They have very stable operations
and a good long term outlook- yet have been rejected by the investing
community.  Here is a perfect example:

Senior Housing Property Trust (SNH) is down 23% from earlier this year.  This $1.7 billion REIT focuses exclusively on senor housing.  SNH's
more than 190 properties include age restricted apartments, independent
and assisted living properties as well as nursing homes.  Most of their occupancy rates are in the 80% to 90% range and revenues are growing.  Just two months ago the quarterly dividend was raised to $0.35, a 7% yield.

This is a good example of a company that has seen its stock price
decline for the wrong reasons.  Needless to say, you can make money in
real estate; you just have to know where to look!

On a personal note we at Hyperion wish you and yours a happy and safe Thanksgiving.  We'll be back with another issue on Friday.  

•   Corn (Above $3.75 a bushel)

The Thanksgiving feast this year has been impacted by higher turkey
prices.  Farmers are blaming the increased prices on higher feed costs,
specifically corn.  Most of the fingers are pointing at ethanol
producers.
