The 3rd thing that has reshaped my entire opinion of the tax advantages of real estate, is seeing my 88 grandfather holding five quite valuable illiquid properties, long story short it’s a mess, it’s causing family drama, he is in zero shape physically or mentally to manage them, the all have cap-ex needs, again these were amazing buy’s literally multiple properties he bought for under 50k that are now worth over a million but there is probably a time and a place for owning real estate, so I don’t really have a need to own more than maybe a few properties into retirement.

This is not about becoming a college or pro player.Work on (fun) physical and mental toughness with me at the house (wrestle, tackle football, physical basketball). 

Yes, Aceland Mortgage is physically in Puerto Rico and we do Fannie / Freddie loans here as well as Florida, Texas, New Jersey, PA and CT. 

Other reasons could be related to title or physical defects (i.e. foundation issues).

. - Then the next filter is physical property attributes with regard to its placement in the market, entrances, and exits, visibility etc

You're talking a reset in physical asset prices due to the GR and low rates to help stimulate inflation after a massive banking crisis.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

I don't care what the currency is because I own physical assets with intrinsic value.

Call me old fashioned, but real estate is an income producing physical asset.

Networking through local meetups or REIAs can connect you with experienced investors and potential mentors.With your REITs as a passive foundation, physical properties could give you more leverage and control.
