In Beta format as of yet - Nuwire Investor - is an online magazine devoted to "alternative investments". One of which is real estate. Their current poll results of what most interests their readership is as follows:
US real estate 39%, International real estate 22%, lending 22% and then the rest is small potatoes in comparison. Is there a trend towards real estate as an investment - absolutely. The lending category is quite interesting too in that people with capital (read baby boomers) want income streams generated from their investments. The rise in popularity of NNN investments is driven by this desire too. OK Mario get to the point - Cap rates will continue to have downward pressure, especially on high quality NNN investments due to higher demand and a ton of capital needing to be placed by those slightly older than me;-)
