Praise for The Intelligent REIT Investor Guide
“The simple genius of public REITs is that they turn bricks and mortar into transparent and predictable liquid assets. Since they tend to pay high dividends, REITs can serve as a terrific addition to an investment portfolio. Thomas’ book helps break down this asset class for the average person, making REITs more understandable and therefore more accessible to everyone.”
Sam Zell Founder and Chairman of Equity Group Investments
“In just 30 years, the REIT market has grown to a diverse $2 trillion global opportunity. Yet there remain a great number of misconceptions about the nature and behavior of equity REITs. Brad Thomas’ book provides readers a wealth of tools and insights to appreciate – and potentially profit from – this asset class.”
Joseph M. HarveyPresident of Cohen & Steers
“Brad Thomas has been guiding REIT investors through many economic cycles. His common‐sense, bottom‐up approach identifies the financial, operational, and strategic characteristics that separate winners and losers over the long term. This book is an essential overview for anyone looking for the tools for success investing in REITs.”
Paul E. Adornato CFA, veteran REIT analyst
“In this book, Brad Thomas continues to display his in‐depth knowledge and expertise of the REIT industry. Through several decades of interviews and discussions with the top management of many major REITs, detailed research into the industry… and his own experience as a commercial real estate developer, Brad brings a unique insight and perspective to the world of REITs.”
Dave HenryBoard member of several large REITs, former Kimco CEO, former ICSC chairman, former vice chair of Nareit
“By publishing this book, Brad Thomas is allowing the general public to have access to his many years of successful professional expertise in listed real estate… [that] will help generations of individual investors to profit from a very attractive and diversified class of stocks.”
Eric Nemeth Private equity investor, independent board member
“The structure of a REIT is generally and essentially simple: Collect rent and distribute rent after debt service and basic corporate expenses to equity owners as dividends. But the general simplicity and similarity of the REIT structure in some ways makes it harder to distinguish a good REIT from a mediocre REIT.”
“To make those distinctions and thus to make the right investment decisions takes investigative work, historical knowledge, and actionable insight. Brad Thomas works the REIT field energetically and diligently, and anyone who follows his work acquires a big advantage in understanding America’s REITs.”
Edward B. Pitoniak CEO of VICI Properties

Jonathan Litt Founder and CIO at Land & Buildings Investment Management
“Brad has been a longtime follower of REITs and a contributor to the growth of the REIT industry. He has a broad knowledge of the industry, deep connections, and an intellectual curiosity that help shine a light on this often misunderstood investment vehicle. One of Brad’s mentors, Ralph Block – to whom the book is dedicated – was not only one of the greatest gentlemen I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, but also a disciple and true visionary of the REIT industry.”
Craig Robinson CEO of GSI Capital Advisors
