REITS
all the exposure, none of the hassle

REITs only cuz I hated being a landlord.

For me personally it was dealing with tenants and having to replace a few large items (ie roof). It felt like a second job at times, BUT the investment return when we sold was nice!

True! Good point

Very different types of real estate. REITs tend to be more corporate real estate. But they are very easy.

REITs all the way. The level of diversification cannot be matched by a single, or more than one, rental. Rentals can provide good cash flow though. Not my cup of tea as the level of involvement required is a lot. VNQ and SCHH.

If I tell my lender that I'm a non-Permanent Resident Alien, would there be any issues vis a vis rates? or actual approval?
