Has anyone ever formed a REIT?

I'm really not sure. If you have expertise and/or experience with RIETs perhaps you'ld be willing to email or call me. I'd certainly appreciate any insight you might share.

If your looking to raise capital and at the same time create weath for yourself, I recommend a PPO. Private Placement Offering is a funding round of securities which are sold without an initial public offering, usually to a small number of chosen private investors. In the United States, although these placements are subject to the Securities Act of 1933, the securities offered do not have to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the issuance of the securities conforms to an exemption from registrations as set forth in the Securities Act of 1933 and SEC rules promulgated thereunder. Most private placements are offered under the Rules know as Regulation D. Private placements may typically consist of stocks, shares of common stock or preferred stock or other forms of membership interests, warrants or promissory notes (including convertible promissory notes), and purchasers are often institutional investors such as banks, insurance companies or pension funds.

As others have stated on this thread, REITs are certainly an option, but unless your willing to go public your going to work really hard for a discounted return.
