UMH Properties: Elevated P/FFO On A Flimsy Foundation (Rating Downgrade)
UMH Properties has shown strong growth and operational improvements, with Q2'24 results showing improving occupancy and FFO growth.

High leverage and geographic concentration in the shale region pose risks, but low fixed-rate debt and potential energy sector demand offer mitigating factors.
