Equity Residential (EQR-N) is recognized as the top multi-family real estate investment trust (REIT), focusing its operations in select coastal markets and increasingly in the US Sun Belt region. It boasts a substantial market capitalization and is recognized for its high-quality management and portfolio. However, the multi-family space has faced challenges due to an influx of new supply and the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to fluctuating demand. Although current pricing power is limited and appreciation is scarce, the stock is perceived as cheap with an implied cap rate in the low to mid 6% range. While experts believe investors are compensated to hold the stock, they recommend waiting for a more opportune entry point, ideally in late 2026 or into 2027.
This has gone through significant transactions over the last 2 years, going from the “everything” Reit in apartments, to really focusing on the coastal market. He prefers Camden Property Trust (CPT-N). The US apartment REITs have been flat, and there is a bit of concern that people will be buying houses instead of renting. This is fine for a Hold, but he wouldn’t hold your breath thinking it is going to leap up to new highs.

Multi-family REIT. Operates in only a handful of select coastal markets, increasingly in US Sun Belt. Very large market cap. High-quality management and portfolio.
Space has struggled since a lot of new supply came on. Through Covid a lot of people moved, and then it settled down. Very low pricing power in the space.
Doesn't see a lot of appreciation. Stock's cheap. Implied cap rate is in low-mid 6% range. You're paid to wait, but he wouldn't enter till later 2026 or into 2027.
