I see that real estate agents and brokers are too negative on sub to deals……investors looking for low interest rates and or low down payments are too positive on the same.As I stated the reality is somewhere in between, depending on individual circumstances.  

No information about dividends in subsequent years could be found in company filings.Most REITs are publicly traded, which means that their stock is bought and sold on public exchanges, with their share prices fluctuating according to investor demand.RAD, however, is among the relatively small set of property companies known as non-traded REITs, whose stock is acquired directly through brokers, not on the open market.

Hey Andrew, I'm a land broker who sells land to both boutique builders and to the national merchant homebuilders. 

I find 95% of deals that go through wholesalers  the seller pays MORE commission and NETS less money by far than listing with a good broker and selling on MLS   .. 

Being a transactional RE broker in my first 15 to 20 years nights and weekends were a must to be a top earner.

You could get a broker dealer but expect to pay 5-10% in commissions for every dollar raised.

It's also common for the "cash only" advertisements to come from brokers or sellers who are misinformed.

So from the outset, they'd start working with a mortgage broker who can prepare them for a refinance within a few years.

With your short time horizon I'd avoid the coops unless your broker knows for a fact the one he's proposing is easy to get in and out of. 

There are broker/matchmakers out there and you can get 12% or better.
