The AI revolution is set to disrupt a lot of businesses and their stocks. As investors become increasingly worried about this value destruction, I expect capital to rotate towards AI-resilient asset classes. REITs are the ultimate anti-AI asset class, and I expect them to win big.

BSR Real Estate Investment Trust acquired 250 vacant units following portfolio activity in 2025. Gradual lease up of these units is likely to be a key driver behind the company's $0.13-0.22/share FFO growth plan in 2026-2028. BSRTF also managed to refinance debt at favorable terms, providing a small tailwind for AFFO in 2026.

The stock market is historically expensive. Even as a recession is more and more plausible in the near future. Fortunately, many defensive dividend payers remain opportunistic.

Share buybacks do not always move the needle. But some REITs are aggressively selling assets to fund large buybacks. These REITs are creating a lot of value that could lead to significant upside over the coming years.

BSR Real Estate Investment Trust is a residential REIT focused on the Texas Triangle, with the remaining assets allocated to Oklahoma and Arkansas. I estimate that recent acquisitions should have a marginally negative effect on AFFO, driven by marginal debt costs above going-in cap rates.

I believe future apartment REIT returns will hinge more on company fundamentals and valuation than on political/regulatory environments.

BSR Real Estate Investment Trust is a residential REIT focused on the Sun Belt, particularly the Texas Triangle. Q1 2025 was characterized by significant portfolio disposals at book value, making the current ~20% NAV discount attractive. The portfolio returned to growth in Q2 2025 with a $141 million acquisition, strengthening the focus on the Texas Triangle.

Warren Buffett has only very rarely invested in REITs and has largely steered clear of the real estate sector. I detail why. I also share why I do invest in REITs and explain my unique approach to the sector.
