Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company type to yours, since a listed REIT, a mortgage REIT, a private investment and management firm and a services brokerage face different reporting, financing and investor demands. Also consider the property types each person's company focuses on, such as office, industrial or retail, when your question depends on a specific asset class.
Questions to take into the conversation
