Robert Leonard (@therobertleonard) talks with Brad Thomas all about investing in REITs — what they are, how they work, why Warren Buffett owns them, and much, much more!

Brad Thomas has more than 25 years’ experience in commercial real estate, where he’s formulated a deep understanding of development, finance, and securities analysis. His experience is rooted in value investing thanks to his background as a developer and his continuing career as an investor and advisor.

As CEO and Senior Analyst for Wide Moat Research, and host of The Ground Up podcast, Thomas researches and writes on a variety of real estate-based income alternatives, with a primary focus on publicly-traded REITs. His broad understanding of capital markets in general has given him a particularly strong track record when it comes to evaluating the most intelligent companies out there – with a keen eye on distinguishing between solid investment operations and speculative ones.

Thomas, who received his bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics from Presbyterian College, is editor of the Forbes Real Estate Investor newsletter. He writes weekly for Forbes.com and The Property Chronicle, as well as Seeking Alpha, where he’s the #1 analyst on REITs and Finance and is the co-author of The Intelligent REIT Investor.
