Agree with you , Happy_2 , about non - traded reits . All one has to do is plug in " Wells Reit " into google to have ebnough hits , links , and information to research to satisify one's desire to stay away from them . Although I love real estate , I'd much rather own the real thing than to trade in any kind of reit that is managed by someone else on any terms . The 1031 exchange is just one of the many benefits of personally owning real estate .

Even though I only bought real estate in the beginning as an additional leg of my retirement portfolio and due to love of the stuff , it has worked out to be an entirely independant critical mass in it's own right . Would encourage every young person to buy some of it just for the joy of it .
