I see confusion on the horizon.

These companies have 50 year horizons.  

It is all about the time horizon on investments right now. 

The private sector absolutely pulls back when they see risk on the horizon, but gov't backed mortgages take an act of congress to change.

Ill keep expanding my horizons.

Albeit a delicate balancing act, I believe that the Fed is in a strong position to, shrewdly, announce more rate cuts over a longer time horizon (perhaps 25 bps every six months through 2026 with one in 2024 – likely right before the election).

When I have something on the horizon I begin planning design right away.

Hi David,(1) I don't have much to invest ($280-$350k) and would want to diversify across different properties anyway (some DSTs are diversified, and I can probably pick up three different DSTs with my proceeds);(2) no direct participation in managing properties (tired of it);(3) illiquidity is not an issue (looking for a 7-10 or longer horizon, will need some cash 8-20 years down the road to fund the kids' college);(4) prefer paper investments in general, would be able to hedge declines in the real estate market with financial instruments (have a Ph.D. in finance and a CFA designation, but a newbie to RE exchanges).

Welcome to the realm of real estate and expanding your financial horizons.
