Brad Thomas has more than 25 years’ experience in building, owning and operating
commercial real estate, allowing him to formulate a deep understanding of
development, finance, and securities analysis. His experience is rooted in value
investing thanks to his background as a developer and his continuing career as an
investor and advisor.As CEO and senior analyst for iREIT, and host of The Ground
Up podcast, Thomas researches and writes on a variety of real estate-based income
alternatives, with a primary focus on publicly-traded REITs. His broad understanding
of capital markets in general has given him a particularly strong track record when it
comes to evaluating the most intelligent companies out there – always keeping a keen
eye out for distinguishing solid investment operations from speculative ones.
Thomas, who received his bachelor’s in business and economics from Presbyterian
College, is editor of the Forbes Real Estate Investor newsletter. He writes for Forbes.
com and The Property Chronicle, as well as Seeking Alpha, where he’s the #1 analyst
on REITs and Finance. Author of The Trump Factor and co-author of The Intelligent REIT
Investor, he’s been featured in or on Forbes Magazine, Kiplinger’s, U.S. News & World
Report, Money, NPR, Institutional Investor, and GlobeStreet, and he's also a frequent
contributor at Fox & Friends and on Fox Business.
In addition to his real estate interests, Thomas is a sought-after speaker throughout
the U.S. and on the international stage. When he’s not working, he enjoys writing
books (with one underway right now) as well as being a devoted father to his five
wonderful children.
