Equity Residential (EQR)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is focused on the acquisition, development and management of high quality apartment properties in top United States growth markets.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I'm banking on the effect that the current rumblings in the housing market will improve the economic conditions in the rental business.

Sam Zell's Equity Residential is an apartment REIT. My investment thesis for this one is simple. Sam Zell is an exceptional real estate investor and his leadership cannot be undervalued. Second, as more and more homeowners go into foreclosure or sell second homes they will need to secure alternative housing options, and many will opt for apartments. Third, a significant portion (almost a third here in the metro DC area where I live) of the apartment inventory available earlier in the decade was converted to condos during this last real estate bubble. Rents will rise as a result of the combined increase in demand and diminished supply. The next few years will prove to be a very good time to be a landlord.
