REIT Market Volatility Creating Potential for Opportunistic Investment

Current volatility within the REIT market is creating the potential for opportunistic investment, particularly among well-capitalized companies with seasoned management teams, said Jay Olander, managing partner of Cornerstone Realty Advisors.

Olander has served in senior REIT management positions for over 25 years. Most recently, he oversaw the $1.9 billion sale in 2016 of Landmark Apartment Trust, Inc., an apartment REIT.

Speaking on the REIT Report, Olander compared current market conditions to those of previous cycles, concluding that “over time, we do expect that the investment market will return, just as we’ve seen in the past.”
