Margins on REI are always going to be on a downward trend as the herd mentality shifts around from market to market and from investment type to investment type.I see great opportunities now and I'm trying to acquire as much as possible within the next 8 years because it won't stay that way here.

Thus, there is a herd mentality of driving prices to levels that don't make sense.

I'm all in favor of believing I can do better with my "retirement funds" by investing them directly MYSELF, rather than giving them to fund managers who largely have a "follow the herd" mentality, which as history shows - can be very dangerous!

Or when the world has some measure of herd immunity?

It is possible the herd follows I guess is next.

There are so many places the SST potential tenants have to choose from that yours is just one of cows in the herd.

As an Architect, I deal with contractors a lot, but its always like herding cats.

Herds the set up.

Pay attention, take notes and find a mentor in the herd.2.

My view continues to be, "what can I do different, what's my niche, instead of following the herd in a saturated marketplace where everyone seems to be flipping and dealing"  - currently I'm doing more International and looking to build a Brand of Eco-Resorts.
