I think you should try to find a good mobile home park syndicator.
I am invested with Cook Properties.
I have heard really good things about Crystal View Captial though.
I think they own mobile home parks and also self storage.

Re: David Rosenberg: Long Treasuries Are Still The Safest Asset Around
How's this for an interesting factoid: the most recent rate for 30 year Treasuries and the current rate for iBonds is exactly the same: 1.68% - except, of course, for the fact that the iBond's rate will be adjusted for inflation for up to 30 years and no income tax is due until redemption. Too bad ...

In your example, 12.5%.And even if the Treasury Bond portion of the PP lost 50% of its value, it would only be a 12.5% loss for the portfolio.
What am I missing?

I am no more confident of the pp than I am in any other diversified portfolio of similar equity weighting What's the saying..."It's not the investment, it's the investor." At some point you have to pick a reasonable strategy and just stick to it. So much is bound to change over a 30-40 ye...

Re: Ray Dalio on Bonds
Well at least historically both bonds and stocks become correlated and go down as interest rates are rising...so 50% of your PP is not going to be doing well. Gold, who knows. It may help, it may not help. So that leaves cash. All of this is also somewhat influenced by how interest rates go up...so...

Re: The death of nominal bonds? Implications for the PP?
Does anyone think that it might be okay to just keep by long term treasuries, even with negative rates?
Maybe if rates continued to drop, you'd make up what you'd lose in interest with what you'd make in capital gains.

Re: Why should I buy Treasuries now?
So you're saying you would do it then? You could keep them and buy more in the 15-20 year range with the goal of having 50% of your portfolio in 10-15 year treasury bonds in the next 5-10 years. 50% 10 year treasuries, 25% stock and 25% gold is another way to basically hold the PP.
