Lindemann said he REITs' expected funds from operations (FFO), among other metrics, look promising. "Growth is actually expected to be pretty solid," said Lindemann, referring to estimates for the rest of 2014. "When we look at FFO-per-share estimates and year-over-year growth projections, we're looking at right around 7.5, 7.6 percent. FFO-per-share growth across the entire equity REIT universe is actually quite solid."
