Enrique Torres and Michael Knott of Green Street Advisors claimed top spots in the Wall Street Journal’s annual Best on the Street rankings. Enrique Torres placed #1 for Hotels & Casinos and Michael Knott placed #3 for Real Estate. The Wall Street Journal’s ratings are based on performance of analyst stock recommendations in 2011.

Bloomberg Radio spoke with Jim Sullivan about why investors should invest in REITs. Jim explained that REITs should represent 5-20% of a broadly diversified investment portfolio. He said that Green Street Advisors prefers REITs with high quality real estate, and made special mention of Simon Property Group (SPG) and Public Storage (PSA).

REIT.com interviewed Mike Kirby about the group of REIT initial public offerings (IPO’s) that appear to be headed for the market. He expects that some highly credible, larger deals run by management teams that we know and respect may well represent the first crop of REITs in this IPO wave. Mike also spoke about REIT share values and the impact of leverage on the industry.

The non-traded REIT industry has thrived in recent years, and growth has occurred despite numerous investment shortcomings. The SEC and FINRA have taken notice and turned up the heat, causing some in the industry to change their business models. This “new breed” of non-traded REITs will be better than the old. Nevertheless, publicly traded REITs remain superior for almost all investors. Green Street Advisors continues to watch the non-traded REIT industry, and recently initiated coverage on Retail Properties of America (RPAI).

CNBC’s Fast Money spoke with Mike Kirby about the benefits of investing in REITs. Mike discussed promising real estate sectors for investors, and shared some of his top picks in Malls, Manufactured Housing, and Self-Storage.

Mike Kirby shared his outlook for real estate in a recent interview with Barron’s. Described as “the dean of REIT analysis,” Mike highlighted investment opportunities in Malls, Manufactured Housing and other sectors. He also discussed some of his top picks including Unibail, one of the largest owners of shopping malls in Europe.

There is considerable evidence that the after-cap-ex growth profiles of some property types are much better than others, and prevailing cap rate relationships often fail to reflect these differences. Systematic mispricing across property sectors appears to be common. Sector-allocation strategies should benefit from improved estimates of long-term growth.

CNBC spoke with Craig Leupold about the recent decline in REIT stock prices and the outlook for mall and strip center REITs given recent concerns about retailer retrenchment. Craig said that the re-pricing of risk means retail REITs with high quality portfolios should outperform those with lower quality portfolios. He added that the market is sending two signals about REIT pricing, with REITs expensively priced vs. stocks and attractively priced vs. bonds, and the fair market value falling between the two.
