Should I buy a flat in NYC or keep investing in a real estate ETF?

uh, real estate is going DOWN. Maybe a better idea is to oh, I don't know, rent and invest money in something that will actually go up? This is a no brainer.

A flat? that's posh. A RE EFT sounds better than a Nigerian prince.

which ETF did you invest in exactly ?

Unless that Nigerian prince is in possession of................................an uncola nut.

Are you looking for a flat with lift? Do you plan to share it with a mate? Or perhaps you're all mouth and trousers?

I think both these could turn into quite a cock up as neither is a flutter.

Cheerio!

don't be a wanker...

URE is the current vehicle, successful so far... like everybody, i am trying to get the most value as possible and not let the money sleeps...

I'm sure you know that that is one volatile (risky) ETF as it is 2X. (Expense ratio is also high - but largely reflects the leverage.) Good luck!

you can buy my flat if you want

Check the Building out first, before you even think about buying there. The web-sites for the N.Y.C. Dept. of Buildings, and the HPD will provide you with inportant information about the Building. If you see a history of, and/or any open violations and overdue compliance: DO NOT BUY IN THAT BUILDING.

Don't assume that , in the case of Condo Buildings; the Condo Board of Managers,and the managing agent are honest and ethical. Don't trust the Meeting minutes.

Feel free to check my address on those sites: 150 East 56th Street, in Manhattan. My Building has been mis-managed for years. Check for lawsuits on the Building, too. You'll find all that, and more; at my address. You will then know more about my Building than most of the owners know.
