Here is a REIT web site with many pertinent details. This link is to the FAQ page with a definition of FFO (funds from operations) and AFFO (adjusted FFO). http://www.reit.com/investing/reit-basic...reit-terms
Seeking Alpha author Factoids uses FAD in his analyses, which is the same as AFFO.
Realty Income (symbol O) is a widely owned equity REIT that publishes both FFO and AFFO in its SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q). FAST Graphs (FUN Graphs) reports both numbers.
