Navigating Inheritance and Income Planning for Secure Retirement
Eleanor’s primary concern was generating sufficient income from her $1.8 million Traditional IRA and $450,000 taxable accounts to maintain her lifestyle while minimizing tax liabilities. She was particularly interested in exploring REIT investments within her portfolio but lacked a clear understanding of how to assess their financial performance beyond traditional metrics like net income, especially the Funds From Operations (FFO) of potential REIT investments.
We utilized the FFO Calculator to analyze several REITs under consideration for Eleanor’s portfolio. By inputting the REITs' net income, depreciation, and amortization, and gains/losses from property sales, we accurately calculated their FFO. This allowed us to identify REITs with strong underlying cash flow generation and sustainable dividend yields. This also revealed hidden value that common net income calculations wouldn't show. For example, a REIT paying a seemingly unsustainable dividend based on net income alone, showed a comfortable payout ratio when assessed with FFO.
The FFO Calculator was used to evaluate publicly available financial statements, specifically focusing on adjustments to net income. Data was sourced from company filings and financial data providers and confirmed for accuracy.
