As of September 1, 2016, how many REITS were listed on the New York Stock Exchange?

You just paid more for the stock and any liabilities.  

You'll want to be careful to avoid the deferred stock as they're hard to lease & end up costing you more than they're worth if you attempt to bring them out of slum condition.  

Real estate is more like a stock - it has a value that you can get back when you sell. 

For me, real estate is better than investing in the stock market because I get to have a lot more control over my hard earned money. 

The housing stock is all single families with the multi's in the old sections and HUGE apartment comlex's of 100-200 units.If something in Vegas was built in the 90's its considered OLD!! 

People always assume when they invest in the stock market that if stocks go down you sell.

I've dabbled in the stock market and I'm ready for the next big step in real estate investing!

I don not know how many of you are aware of the historic vote in Italy today Sunday 4th (see news & Twitter).The Italian referendum to vote "No" has already started to affect news of stock markets becoming volatile.

Mainly depends if you & your husband have other assets you can risk losing if you're sued (primary home, 401k, stocks, etc).The downside is chartering an LLC makes financing more of a pain (adverse lending terms).
