‘Ready to REITire’ is a 5-part video series that is done in collaboration with The Joyful Investors, where our aim is to give those who are new to investing the basics about investing in REITs to generate a steady stream of income through distributions (which is the same as ‘dividends’, but as far as REITs are concerned, they are termed as ‘distributions’.)

In the first part of the video series (for those of you who have missed out, you can check it out here), Hazelle (from The Joyful Investors) and myself shared about what exactly a REIT is, along with some of the advantages of investing in one, and also its limitations.

As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, there are about 40 REITs listed on the Singapore Exchange, and some REITs better than others. So, how do you go about selecting which REITs to invest in?

In today’s video, you’ll learn about 3 things we look at to help us determine whether the REIT is worthy of a place in our investment portfolio:

Stop Spending Hours Reading REIT Reports Every Quarter!

What if you could assess a REIT's portfolio occupancy, debt profile, valuation, and overall health in less than 30 seconds - without having to comb through a single quarterly report?

That's the problem the REIT Screener was built to solve.

Developed through a collaboration between ShareInvestor and The Singaporean Investor, the REIT Screener consolidates many of the key metrics and indicators I personally use when analysing REITs into one easy-to-use platform. Instead of spending hours extracting data manually every earnings season, you can now monitor the REITs you own and research new opportunities in just a few clicks.

If you're serious about REIT investing but don't have the time to manually track quarterly developments, the REIT Screener could be the shortcut you've been looking for:
