Real Estate in 'Wrappers'

"...REITs are real estate that happens to perform like stock. The underlying asset is the same, it's just that the wrapper is different. And depending on which wrapper you put around real estate the real estate will perform differently..."

-Russell Platt (Morgan Stanley Asset Management)

From 'On the Hybrid Nature of REITs'; Journal of Real Estate Finance & Economics, Sept 2011
