having been in this space with investors since the mid 80s  I have never met anyone who is looking for notes to retire on straight away or replace their income..it simply takes way too much capital if you have 2 to 3 million liquid then yes you can buy great performing notes straight out of the gate and within 3 to 4 months be making 20 to 30k a month no problemMost of my clients though and I have had hundreds.. they did this as an investment vehicle just like if your going into the stock market few say I am quitting my day job to be a full time stock investor.To replace your income in the note business you have to do as was mentioned above and create a business out of it and bring in others money and mange it for them like many do including myself.then those that want to invest with you will want to know your experience... its tough starting when I do this I can show couple thousand loans on the books  LOL.. so credibility is not an issue.. so what for me is quite easy can be really tough for someone starting out.

A REIT will give you some sense of safety because your risk is spread out over many properties but you then put your faith in someone Else's ability to choose and mange property.

Remember that the lender has one thi ng in mind GETTING REPAID !

The current DST pays 8% for at least 5 years, I note the sponsor takes a hefty fee to mange but is there the risk they have oversold the investment and I will never see my original investment when they go to sell the building??   

Condos have worrisome HOA that will cost more j in n g to he long run 

Thank you very much for your kind help, @Jerry Ellis, @Rich Lodge, @John Ng, @Mark Poulton, @James Harris, and @Jeff Brower!

Or you just want someone to mange you?

The contract I'm referring to can be found at D e a n G r a z i o s i' s website.

Not to be a jerk, but you kinda lost me on the "mange the property manager."
