That's cool that you come from a trading background...I find quite a few of us REI (spot currencies trader here!) 

He was my agent and did a great job:MelHubbard Realtor, ABR Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate / Legacy52 Traders WayPooler, Ga 31323

stock and futures traders, real estate speculators etc...it's all the same.  

With all the program traders and day traders disrupting the market, the Warren Buffet investment strategy (investing in the company itself) is safe. 

Cheers to @Shane Pearlman for sharing a bit about Japanese real estate with me when we went hiking down in the redwoods in Santa Cruz.

And you could buy little flats in Japan ( countryside towns)  for 30 to 40k US and they return about 10% cash on cash.. what you have though is the Japanese tenant which is not to be confused with a US tenant.. 

Rent 1200.00 per unit.Pic shows freshly painted front doors, and a peek of the 15 Japanese box hedges and 7 red rose bushes just planted.

I’m trying to get more and more involved in stock trading and rather than just getting googlied-eyed over ever marketing scam I see on tv I might as well just ask a fellow trader.
