Is A Real Estate Investment Trust A Good Idea?

I love public REITs. I have several in my accounts. I have almost never been burned by REITs but it depends on doing research and choosing the ones that meet your investing style.

I didn't become financially independent till I was in my mid 40s after having a major financial setback during the covid , Thank God i'm now on my feet . In addition to buying my second house, I'm also making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future!

Solid advice, I have been purchasing pubic REIT's and growing my dividend income lately. 🚀Just learn and take action!!!

Okay, and how do you go about looking into it than?

Anyone that invested in a Reit and done well, would you mind sharing which one you went with?

I will advise to try investowith Robinhood, PFI trades, skysloop, Brivity They are a good please to invest. I have tried them and I think PFI is better because it’s possible to withdraw profits any time you wants

We invest in a REIT etf on my channel and it got hammered in 2022. Still holding and collecting dividends though!

I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my third house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now. I'm glad I made great decision about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.

"Better than I deserve" how lovely 😊

If you call it an R-E-I-T
That’s a hell no for you 😵‍💫

Sounds like he's talking about Syndications, not REITs.

A real estate investment trust (REIT, pronounced "reet") is a company that owns, and in most cases operates, income-producing real estate.

REITs own many types of commercial real estate, including office and apartment buildings, warehouses, hospitals, shopping centers, hotels and commercial forests.

Some REITs engage in financing real estate.

Most countries' laws on REITs entitle a real estate company to pay less in corporation tax and capital gains tax.

REITs have been criticised as enabling speculation on housing, and reducing housing affordability, without increasing finance for building.

REITs can be publicly traded on major exchanges, publicly registered but non-listed, or private.

The two main types of REITs are equity REITs and mortgage REITs (mREITs).

In November 2014, equity REITs were recognized as a distinct asset class in the Global Industry Classification Standard by S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI.

The key statistics to examine the financial position and operation of a REIT include net asset value (NAV), funds from operations (FFO), and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO).

I will forever be indebted to you, Mrs Constant Carlotta. You have changed my entire life. I will continue to preach in your name for the world to hear that you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment. Thank you very much!

REITs have actually materially outperformed private equity according to several studies. They generally outperform by 2-4% per year and this is because they enjoy significant economies of scale, develop their own properties, earn profits from other real estate-related profits, skip transaction fees, and many other reasons. But please stay away from private REITs. They are typically externally managed and suffer significant conflicts of interest! I will soon make a video on this topic.

Thanks for the video!

Anyone heard of RAD diversified

I personally love illiquid investments. If it's a good investment I don't want to do something stupid and sell it.

So I guess the takeaway, win some lose some, break even. THE HOUSE A.K.A. ETF S AND P ALWAYS WINS.

I love hearing him say that!

Reits done well and maximizing income and reinvestment may very well lead a person to an early retirement

Thank you Dave...

Well that answers the question of Fundrise lol

lol wow he strikes again, and yes I would go public versus private these days
as far as reits goes, thanks for confirming that lol

I find rental properties hard to manage. Are reits a good alternative?

I have most of my portfolio invested into various REITS and mREITS, as I only have a 10 year time frame until I retire, so I want to collect as much as possible in distribution payouts so I can supercharge my compounding interest plus build up an income portfolio to some day draw from. My wife, who is a bit younger, has the S&P in her IRA and we also have a joint account with another ETF to stay diversified. This was the best I could do since I did not start investing until later in life

Better than I deserve what’s up

Anyone have examples of good reit’s?

I am a real estate investor and I can say Daves advice when it comes to stocks is decent but the real estate stuff is ROCK SOLID!!

Great response! Thank you for your wisdom.

horribly vague advice.

What’s his ultimate advice? 🤔. Didn’t quite get it .

Ramsey gives good advice as an old grandpa who has seen it all but the newborns just don't get it

Private investing is pretty much reserved for those who are willing to invest long term. If you're just trying to make quick cash and beat it, then private investing is not for you..

Mrs Patricia is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

This clown always wants people to deleiver pizza and says all forms of investing is not good even though thats how we made his money

Ramsey is a 🤡

What public reits was he talking about?

I know from experience publicly traded reits are the way to go after research. Entry is key. Much bigger dividend then most blue chip stocks. INCOME monsters out there in the REIT world.

"If I had money I could burn, I'd be okay with it." That's not exactly a brightly glowing recommendation.

I understand this from a unique perspective
I know of a reit with 14%

11 cents a day for the 1st year and then after that if you have the patience who knows lol

Spot on advise.

To be Sincere I've always preferred Forex trading since I've been investing and trading with Mr Marcus Hilton (profittrade_with_marcus) thru iG he's the best expert ever. Throughout the outbreak of the Corona virus, lockdown and quarantine even till now he always kept he's words by helping me maximize my capital through trading to generate more than enough weekly profits for myself and my family. We really want to say a big thank you.

Public is fine, private a no no

Hey Mr. Ramsey! I want to put my money in Health, Retail/Mall, and monthly dividend. I have made a list of them:

Health/Retirement Home REIT: Welltower
Retail/Mall: Simon Property Group
Monthly Dividend: O, AGNC, LTC, EPR, STAG
Others: SKT, VNQ, IRM, PEAK, VER, EQR, NLY, CIM, ABDC, BX

So I want to put my money in one of each. Of course there are some companies I have not listed so if you recommend anything please let me know. Either from your recommendation or from this list I provided, which company from each category would you recommend me to invest in. I want to this long-term since I am 21-years old.

I saw this cryptonaid. com site online i invested with them and received cash out of $15,000

Bought IVR and BPY recently. In it for the long run.

I just sold my REIT fund, VNQ. Still holding GNMA and a preferred ETF which holds preferred shares of REITs. That’s my only real estate exposure. Rent an apartment also. Prefer cash in savings account.

The guaranteed returns would have to be 50%-100% higher than the public REITS for it to make ANY sense. You can sell a public REIT in under a minute for free. A private REIT is sometimes very difficult to sell.
Actually I would NEVER do it. If you watch American greed there are just too many of these kind of investments that go wrong. There are a lot of greedy people out there willing to scam you.
Don't make it complicated. Just by the S&P ETF or NASDAQ ETF and it will do better.
If you insist then buy a rental and have some else manage it for you.
I have maybe a million dollars in real estate and net about 10-12% a year income managing it myself. I love it for the income and additional equity we make doing the rehab because we often triple the value on the rehab.

Non-tradable REIT's? Ouch. 😩
