Nothing has caused more loss of principal in Real Estate than too much debt. Leverage works great in an upward trending market, but it cuts the other way in a downturn.  Joel Friedland, Principal of BRIT properties, has been buying infill industrial properties with all cash since learning the hard way during the 2008-09 financial crises. Joel and his investors are seeking conservative investments with the primary goal of capital preservation. He buys highly sought-after properties that appeal to both owner-users and tenants. Joel specializes in industrial properties in Chicago that deliver 7% unleveraged returns.
