Real estate investors losing money is music to my ears. They are a major reason why the real estate market is the way that it is now....

Great response! Thank you for your wisdom.

"Better than I deserve" how lovely 😊

He's right, the private ones are just crazy risky. That said you always want to diversify your stuff.

BND - bond (3.05) (VBTLX ETF)
JEPQ - Dividend (VOO) (33.30)
VNQ - REIT (33.30)
VTI - US Index (18.30) (VTSAX ETF)
VXUS - international index (12.05) (VTIAX ETF)

You're welcome :)
Just find a good brokerage who is regulated and use the %s accordingly when you average dollar it.

I didn't become financially independent till I was in my mid 40s after having a major financial setback during the covid, Thank God i'm now on my feet . In addition to buying my second house, I'm also making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future!

I find rental properties hard to manage. Are reits a good alternative?

[bozomonster]

I bought a lot of high quality REIT's during the Covid crash. They were the best investments I've ever made. Nothing else has come close.

I love public REITs. I have several in my accounts. I have almost never been burned by REITs but it depends on doing research and choosing the ones that meet your investing style.

[ThinkMoneyBenny]

Would love to own real estate but nearly impossible in NYC.


Next best thing for me are REITs in the stock market.


Plus I get to avoid all the landlord duties. =]

[rainynight]

Okay, and how do you go about looking into it than?

[timchristopher]

Bought IVR and BPY recently. In it for the long run.

[thewongmindset]

I barely want to do a public REIT so probably no-go for a private one... I’d rather do the real thing and hold physical property

[jusrarsh]

I know from experience publicly traded reits are the way to go after research. Entry is key. Much bigger dividend then most blue chip stocks. INCOME monsters out there in the REIT world.

Good information. I will stick to "O" Realty stock.

[AngryBearHomestead]

Question, in four years I plan to buy land in Texas to retire. Should I buy now if I find the land I want or continue saving money and then buy land in 4 years when I am ready to move?

[Je.rone_]

*this is a question I haven't heard Dave answer so it was pleasantly novel*

[GenExDividendInvestor]

I love Realty Income (O) and am long :)

[Royals_Mindset]

Solid advice, I have been purchasing pubic REIT's and growing my dividend income lately. 🚀Just learn and take action!!!

[愛愛愛愛]

What’s his ultimate advice? 🤔. Didn’t quite get it .
