Context and risks
REIT with Net Debt/EBITDA of 3.83 and a 7th percentile position in its 52-week range. The rise in 10-year yields (5.17%) increases financing costs and pressures the value of long-duration assets, a material risk for a residential REIT.

Verdict: Hold; valuation is not expensive (FCF yield 13.21%) but growth and the dividend do not justify a new position until the cost of debt stabilizes.
Main risk: High leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA 3.83) and a dividend payout of 553.85% make Sun Communities vulnerable to a persistent high-interest-rate environment.
