Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, Donald Trump’s luxury hotels and skyscrapers, and Oprah Winfrey’s Montecito estate, "The Promised Land," all reinforce the undeniable power of real estate in building generational wealth.My journey into real estate was far from conventional.

Most of the bad noise right now is about downtown skyscrapers and REIT or Syndication apartment complexes where they played short term versus long term interest rates wrong.  

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: You could exchange one Cupertino 4BR house to one 44 floor skyscraper now LOL Maybe we should just bid this property.  

If so, it doesn’t matter if it’s an SFR, a mobile home park, a retail shopping center, or a skyscraper.

Conversely, if things don't go your way...you run into mold or some other unexpected issue, the real estate market takes an unexpected negative turn, a terrorist runs airplanes into a NY skyscraper...things can go South quickly for you and your family.

REITS that own shopping malls or sky-scraper office buildings are effectively the walking dead and many will not survive. 

Because, as you have seen for yourself, Panamanians love their skyscrapers.

You can keep the cranes and skyscrapers, I'll take cash flow all day. 

Plus Bezos needs his own sky scraper.

I thought I was seeing objects falling from skyscrapers in Manhattan until I realized these were investment bankers jumping out of the windows ....Just kidding.
