I am weighted more towards debt and preferred equity deals.So far, only one investment is not performing, and in that situation, it is some weird internal situation (too many cooks at the sponsor) and from what I can tell, not a problem with the actual property.These investments were a conscious decision for me to allocate away from my stock portfolio and after I made the first couple of investments, I decided that the only way for this to make a lot of sense was to get a big portfolio fast in different cities across the country.
