Point is the past gain or loss means nothing its the fundamentals of the market they are in that matters.All in in all I think if someone really does not want to learn about any details one has to learn that takes time (how much to put in for R&M in a property, how to buy a property correctly, how to fund ppl you can trust in your RE network, etc.), wants income and is really comfortable analyzing the market trends to pick a REIT (office market, storage market, commercial residential market, etc.) than a REIT can be a good investment.

I guess what you get, that is not public record, is seller's info on expired listings, how many times the listing was renewed (1 month on the market, but expired 2 years since) and other data that only the Realtor's know like personal info the sellers share and some agents put in the listing.

What you plan to put in and what you plan to rent it for?

Furthermore I am confident that the bank will not put in writing that they will automatically extend your note at year 5 or what the rates, terms and fees will be at that point.
