CHAPTER 11
Investing in Global REITs and Property Companies
Steven D. Burton and Kenneth D. Campbell*
The world of investing in real estate is flattening with each passing day, to paraphrase New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. Technology has transformed the movement of capital into real estate from a local, hit-or-miss affair, often depending on which cocktail party you attended, into a fast-paced global business you can manage from your desktop.
