I see the rising interest rate as a very big problem, as more investors will definitely pull out more money from the Stock market. This might have worked when I was still invest-ing with a couple thousand dollars, but it is more difficult now to decide whether to pull out more than $365k from my port-folio. I know some inves-tors still make that despite the strong bear market. In wish I could pull that feat

Jonathan and his teams strategy of driving down debt is solid. A lot of other REITS focused on growing dividends and acquisitions. Now, years later those REITS are struggling because they overextended.

I remember 1929 I wouldn't even put my worse enemy's money into the stock market. I just plow all my money into long term bonds and long term corporate bonds and gold bars and rare coins.

My ROE is the only thing that matters....who cares if other people suffer with high rents and mortgage prices.

Lmao you don’t own it the bank does. Every building has a lifecycle.. the longer it’s up the more it’s going to cost you. The amount for rent doesn’t match people’s incomes. Sooner or later they have to meet.

with higher debt costs and these newer style rental condos being held by these reits causing the housing supply...

the only logical thing to do is short these publicly listed stock holding reit's...
why do they hold 27 different rental BUILDINGS... in a housing crisis? sell those buildings and pay off the mortgages and get real jobs. these ceo's are just having renters pay the debt the ceo takes on to pay himself... what kind of job just takes on debt and has other people pay it off? oh right they deserve it because they took on "risk..."
