Why AI Makes REITs More Valuable

  • AI adoption will drive long-term value for REITs by boosting efficiency, reducing costs, and expanding profit margins, ultimately raising FFO and fair valuations. Management-intensive REIT sectors—like multifamily, retail, tower infrastructure, and single-family rentals—stand to benefit most from AI-powered operational improvements. Smaller REITs may gain a competitive edge as AI tools help them operate more efficiently, potentially narrowing the gap with larger players.
