For some companies it is a must to invest on all market cycle , they can’t close shop even if there is bear market , that’s why we can’t blindly blaming the GP.it is similar like asking why my REIT stock is down when TLT is down , in theory CRE correlates a lot with bond market.

BTW, I cut my teeth buying 1/2mil worth of house I couldn’t afford in 2007 while stationed in Newport.

When you tell these people that it often takes more than a decade before the investing makes things like that possible, they go looking elsewhere for advice, until they find someone who's willing to sell them what they want to hear.Building relationships, improving your lifestyle, relieving chronic anxiety, creating strong friendships, building bonds with family, work-life balance, delayed gratification, risk-reward management, lifelong financial freedom, all the really good things about REI are often suffocated under the overwhelming need to GENERATE INCOME TO QUIT MY HATEFUL JOB.What's the best thing about investing for me?

Everyone has to start somewhere, and we have seen a great deal of loyalty from customers that have cut their teeth with us over the years.

I have always been interested in financial literacy so I have been looking for a another good investment outside of stocks and bonds.

Typically they have been restricted to Wall Street type products like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

They have been buying Greek junk bonds lately along with all kinds of other oddball and unique investments.

The bond is further strengthened by promptly answering questions from borrowers.

Rates are coming down pretty hard however probably not quite as much as owner-occ / conventional and a bit muted more than treasury bonds considering the risks. 

10 yr down 70bips in 4 weeks, 20 just today, and if Sahm rule violation/longest inverted yield curve ever/and M2 - 4% drawdown all have >95% correlations each with near term Recessions, then maybe long bonds may be safest place to be for a while.
