Date: August 18th, 2018 3:29 PM Author: house-broken roommate native There are hundreds of millions of acres of beautiful, arable, rich land in the U.S. that sit unsold by regional podunk commercial RE firms. Can't help but think that someone sophisticated could/should approach the owners, securitize some of these assets and market them to global institutional investors seeking a food/water security play in the U.S. in states where this sort of thing is permissible. Does this exist? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4054940&forum_id=2#36639648) |

agriculture and commodities are crazy cyclical, competitive and capital intensive. i’ll just buy fang stock instead. |

Date: August 18th, 2018 3:46 PM Author: house-broken roommate native I am describing an institutional investor with a portion of their portfolio/mandate dedicated to alternative/illiquid assets - these types of investments would never be considered alongside something like an index fund or stocks.

Date: August 18th, 2018 3:47 PM Author: fantasy-prone national telephone every investment is viewed against market return. and a rational investor would require a substantial premium for investing in an illiquid instrument.
a trash value proposition is a trash value proposition any way you slice it. |

Date: August 18th, 2018 3:44 PM Author: house-broken roommate native Like an MBS, sure, but perhaps a collection of more illiquid assets with different/unique sources of income (sales from livestock, aquifiers w/ right to bottle/tap water, etc.,) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4054940&forum_id=2#36639703) |
