@Diogo Ferreira Congrats on wanting to make the first step and take some action.

I have had a lot of education on how everything works, now is my time to put forth the action!  

I agree with your comments that mortgage reits are vulnerable to rising interest rates especially if the financial reits are leveraged.Just as the energy sector (nat gas, crude oil, agriculture) are beaten down, I think that the Financial reits are trading 21% below book value and the reason for this is the rising interest rates are already priced in causing these reits to trade at such distressed levels.

Was contemplating sending a direct mail campaign out there and trying to get in on some of the action.    

We are very good at what we do and have a lot of the trades covered in house which means we can offer a better savings to you and better profits to us.  

Essentially, that is what I am doing by not taking action. 

You are taking immediate and substantive action. 

Your niche will evolve but the most important step is to identify what unique things you bring to the table, and then take action!

Bringing your cash from Aus you'll lose 30% on the trade instantly so you need to account for that lose.

Remember, take the action then learn the lesson.
