SmallCapPower | September 13, 2017: Today we have identified five Canadian REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) with an expected 2017 funds from operations (FFO) per unit decrease of more than 10%. REITs are a pool of money (trust) that is used to buy, develop, manage, and sell real estate assets. REITs generate income through renting, leasing, and selling of property and distributes it directly to unitholders via a cash distribution or payout—less maintenance costs of the properties.
