Packer16 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Did you guys notice FFH purchased a Greek REIT? The REIT is Eurobank properties and has more cash then debt and has FFO yield of 18% once the cash is pulled out. Packer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StubbleJumper Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Didn't they purchase Greek bonds about 18 months ago? I'm guessing that one hasn't worked out exceptionally well, but the REIT is at least backed by real estate that has presumably had meaningful value for the past 4,000 or 5,000 years....

I did already wonder when they would do some investment into Greece. But the deal is relative small,... only some 43 million Euro.
