This is in response to Baird's enlightening research piece (Seeking Alpha synopsis here [https://seekingalpha.com/news/3614408-wait-for-rent-growth-to-bottom-on-apartment-reits-baird] ) earlier this month letting us all know to  wait for rents to bottom before buying apartment REITs.  The wizards at Baird think this is what worked last time.  Let me
