For an investor whose existing holdings are all long lease residential, hotel exposure is appealing as a way to add a travel demand driver that does not move with the rest of the…
I've been reading the same argument in two directions for weeks and I want to hear it from people who've actually done it. The case for using a self-directed IRA: syndications tak…
For a first REIT allocation, the choice usually comes down to a broad index approach against a tilt toward sectors with tightening supply. The tilt argument rests on the idea that…
