Question 1)
Two major unresolved issues risk-related issues of equity REIT returns:
1. Whether the owners of publicly traded REITs receive a risk premium for taking on illiquidity. The risk premium will be received as part of the expected return.
2. Leverage risk: Real estate investment trusts are traded on major stock exchanges and are subject to price movements in financial markets. This means that investors may receive less than what they originally paid for if they sell their shares in the public exchange.
