While the REIT industry, which fueled transactional business and new development over the past few years, has waned due to high interest rates impeding the ability of REITs to capitalize,
other financial sources such as pension plans and traditional sources of capital like insurance
companies and banks have come back to the market.
I am currently employed as a salaried
financial advisor at a large
company, but like many
others in the corporate world, I am increasingly attracted to the idea of leaving the cubicle lifestyle, getting into the world of real estate, and achieving the American Dream, which to me entails traveling the world
while I generate passive income from my rental properties.
Things to consider: If buying and selling real estate, being the multifaceted situation that it is, finds itself sometimes even too complex for trained professionals in some situations, requiring the addition of
other trained professionals such as lawyers, inspectors, insurance pro's, appraisers, land surveyors, tax specialists,
financial planning and estate management people or
companies, divorce specialists, grief counsellors, expert witnesses, construction people, builder issues, mortgage fraud professionals, banking backup people, ex pat and non-resident specialists, immigration rules and regs, investment counsellors, to help unravel oddities and eventualities, just imagine the Rubik's cube the journey represents to the average, unrepresented buyer or seller, perhaps even ones in the midst of it
while trying to digest a purchase or sale, going through a divorce or dealing with a grieving relative, due to a death in the family, even more especially where English is not that individual's first language.
