BREIT by blackstone is private, not publicly traded, and is only sold by blackstone chosen financial advisors, it has 4 different class shares and most have huge load fees (1.5-3.5%) and yearly AUM fees (1.25%), and if you sell <12 months from any share purchase they charge you an exit fee of 2% of NAV price , so be careful with that oneI've invested in many syndications for passivity/market beating returns/tax benefits currency debasement running at 15% a year since GFC(2008), (ie M2 money supply growth) so you have to get >15% just to tread water in USA now

Supply paint, pizza and beer and you should save about 4 grand but results may vary.Another option is just to paint the areas that look the worst and attempt to match existing paint colors--this is usually what I do if anything at all.
