Richard Anderson, senior research analyst at BMO Capital Markets, and Louis Taylor, senior REIT analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities, are divided on what the market is saying -- but both agree that some REITs are ripe for investment.
"There's a paralysis. No one knows where cap rates are going," said Anderson. He believes that a tighter credit market will lead to more renting of properties.
But Taylor sees it differently. "Right now, cash flows are looking good" for REITs, Taylor said. But he's bearish on apartment-building firms -- and bullish on retail REITs.
He addressed General Electric's earnings miss -- and maintained that GE's real-estate businesses differ from the REIT market.
(GE is the parent of CNBC.)
