I hold REITs but my portfolio is fairly large so I hold most things - mainly just Realty Income Group (Realty O)

My issue with REITs is they may be too commercial property focused, and outside of warehouses and maybe supermarkets I’m apprehensive for how many stores will remain in 10 years time.

I prefer to hold my real estate in my (or my LLC) name. Maybe I’m just old school though!

Directly owned real estate is more work, but also more reward.

REIT’s are great if you want to set it and forget it, but the layers of systems, personnel, and risk management means they will highly underperform directly owned real estate with the trade off being that there’s no effort needed from the shareholders.

Easily both

This is super easy: real estate

Example: over the past three years my property has appreciated at a rate of 3x my yearly income. An reit at best will do like 10% year over year

Yeah .. but last 3 years were once in a lifetime opportunity ! Real estate market grew never life before in last 3 years

Real estate as its leveraged. Reits are not unless you use margin which is a crazy idea and insane interest rates.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?

Okay finance lawyers. I don't understand this issue. Client says books show we're highly profitable but we have no way to pay our tax liability.... Well where the hell did tbe money go ? Client also claims that they are only taking a small portion of the revenue as profit. I don't understand how your books can be different than reality.
