Hersh M. I use commercial lending. It allows me to purchase using an llc, often times no appraisals needed, and much quicker turnaround.
But arent you worried about rate risk after 5 years?

They have to pay 90% of the earnings but you don't have a way of trusting the manager. Sam has a solid track record. You have to understand that REITS are not a real estate investment. It is a stock you have absolutely no control of.
Are they publicly traded? What are the ticker symbols?

Lol. BTW, from what you have seen, what is the main motivation for these folks to invest here? I would assume lot of these purchases are all cash for wealth sheltering, right?
