Speculate on commercial property prices online?

Asked by capet (988

Are there any fairly direct ways to get exposure to US commercial property prices using an online broker (other than REITs)?

I plan to do a lot more research before I do anything, I’m just trying to understand the lay of the land. And of course I don’t intend to invest any money that I’m not ready to lose. (Also worth noting when it comes to these kinds of things: I don’t intend to make any investment that doesn’t have a maximum possible loss < the amount of cash I hold. Silly maybe, but there you go.)

(The way I’m reading it, there are a few residential real estate-related indices but no commercial real estate-related indices.)

@capet. There are some Real Estate ETFs that invest in a variety of real estate companies and REITs. I would Google that and see if any pique your interest.

Gross.

Theres so many messed up things in housing right now, I wouldn’t touch it with your money. At least you’re prepared to lose your investment, which is helpful, but you could just lose it to a casino instead of actively making the world worse first.
