Fannie Mac is a publically traded company, ticker FNMA (more later).These GSE’s were created to to promote homeownership by providing liquidity to the secondary mortgage market.These are GIANT housing players, and this is hard to understate.

With an average monthly profit of about $1,175 after expenses, it’s proving to be a strong investment.If your parents sell their home and want to move in, you’d need to weigh the trade-offs—losing that steady revenue vs. the stability of a long-term tenant.

It was a true trade-off as the Logan area is more limited in STRs and new builds so ADRs are higher and likely to stay there compared to RRG where the market is headed towards being flooded and there's the potential of ADRs going down like in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. 

Always good to trade insights with someone who knows how to work a negotiation.

@Tyler GarzaYour "buy a new house, rent the old one, and trade up" strategy is a solid way to build wealth, but there are a few key factors to consider.

Many employers are seeing now as a great time to opportunistically buy or lease, usually downsizing, into new office spaces in the district during this period where there are still depressed prices, even on some Class A office spaces.The Resurgence of the Office Market in D.C.The resurgence of employers returning to the city with the pandemic fears now in the rearview mirror is apparent with Q4 of 2024 being the first quarter of positive leasing absorption for office space in the District over the last 10 quarters (Source) Another example is Boston Properties Group (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of Class A Office space in the United States, is building a 320,000 square foot new trophy office in Downtown DC, with 5 floors already pre-leased to the global law firm McDermott Will & Emery as well as the Rockefeller Group developing a 422,000 square foot office building slated for delivery in 2026 at 600 Fifth St.NW, which is similarly 50% pre-leased (Source).

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.

Unless your background is in construction/ trades and you truly understand your costs and risks. 

Your situation presents a classic trade-off between long-term appreciation potential and short-term debt reduction.

The trades can make or break a good deal.
