Intro to Real Estate Economics
Funds from Operations (FFO) is a financial performance metric used primarily by real estate investment trusts (REITs) to measure their operating performance. It is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization to earnings, while excluding gains or losses on the sale of properties.
