They'd put cash back in the homeowner's hands, the mortgages would actually be worth something again and the banks would be saved. Unless I'm missing something here? Please weigh in!

Any suggestions on healthy REITS in a growth trend that are paying a decent dividend, which they appear able to sustain? Basically, I am looking for REITS with a strong balance sheet that continue to appreciate and pay reliable dividends. Kindly give details and the reasons for your assumptions. Much thanks!
