Hersh M. I use commercial lending. It allows me to purchase using an llc, often times no appraisals needed, and much quicker turnaround.

But arent you worried about rate risk after 5 years?

@Collin Schwartz Congrats!! Why 5 years fixed and not 30?

@Diane G. Are you active or passive investor? From what I understand @Account Closed is highly active. :) Just 2 different approaches.

The only REIT i look at is the one with companies from Sam Zell.
They have to pay 90% of the earnings but you don't have a way of trusting the manager. Sam has a solid track record. You have to understand that REITS are not a real estate investment. It is a stock you have absolutely no control of.

Are they publicly traded? What are the ticker symbols?

Would like to connect and discuss ideas. VNO got hit this past week. Are you buying? How about NLY?

Thanks!

I may have taught one or two of them, or maybe a few more, what it means to "season funds" so they could leverage & get a mortgage. Whoops.

Lol. BTW, from what you have seen, what is the main motivation for these folks to invest here? I would assume lot of these purchases are all cash for wealth sheltering, right?
