Q: Hello Peter and Staff

I was a bit surprised at your answer to Lee on August 21st where you included GSY and TCN as too risky for the average retired investor . I thought both are high on your list ?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Results look good. In my opinion I see 4 important tailwinds. 1. Credit tightening- making it more difficult for home ownership. 2. Housing shortage. 3. Interest rate peaking- improve margins in time, and re accelerate growth 4. Pricing power- ability pass rent increases on. Does this cover them or did I miss any others. Where do you see this company 3-5 years from now. Full purchase make sense at this time?

Q: I am considering adding some real estate to my portfolio. I expect interest rates to remain relatively steady or drop slightly over the next two years. Do you think now is a good time to purchase a REIT or is there more potential downside as the interest rates on their debt resets higher as the debt matures? I am specifically looking at residential real estate companies. Of the above companies which one or two do you prefer and why? Is there a real estate sector you would prefer over residential?
