As a general rule I know better then to buy real estate for the next two or three years, however this fund was made by Apline managent which has had lot of experience in real estate both in closed-end and open-end funds. I also like how Apline realizes that real estate has a cycler buisness cycle, and they compenscate thier holdings because of this. The biggest reason I like this fund is the way they use a dividend capture stragey to generate income. (They use a third of the investment money to capture dividends.) That means they buy a stock before ex dividend date, sell it after, and then buy another stock to get another dividend.) This stragey makes getting amazing dividends possible. Currently 44%. This fund is selling below $1.00 below NAV according to aplinecef.com. If you do not like real estate look at AOD or AGD funds.
