In this episode, Alan Dunne speaks with Dan Mikulskis, CIO of People's Partnership, about the evolution of large pension funds and what it means to think like an asset owner. Managing over £40 billion for millions of members, Dan explains how scale changes the way portfolios are constructed, managers are selected, and partnerships are built. The conversation explores the balance between passive and active strategies, diversification beyond equities, and the growing role of private markets. Dan also shares insights on governance, investment philosophy, and why humility is essential when making asset allocation decisions in complex global markets.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Dan on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 01:33 - Introduction to the global macro series02:18 - Introducing Dan Mikulskis and his background03:38 - From actuarial science to investment consulting05:45 - The history and growth of People's Partnership08:18 - Auto-enrolment and the rise of large UK pension schemes11:12 - What it means to operate as an asset owner13:24 - Building the investment team and ownership model18:34 - Scale advantages in manager relationships and partnerships23:24 - How large asset owners select external managers28:58 - Balancing core partnerships and specialist managers34:25 - Macro insights and quarterly investment forums37:34 - Portfolio construction and diversified growth strategies43:19 - Concentration risk and global equity allocations50:44 - Factor investing and style diversification53:30 - The role of hedge funds and alternative strategies56:08 - Total portfolio approach in pension investing58:56 - Measuring performance and evaluating investment teams01:03:18 - Career advice for future CIOsCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Most property investors don't have a strategy. They think they do. But buying a property is not a strategy. Renovating is not a strategy. Chasing a hotspot is definitely not a strategy. Today, Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole and I explain the difference between buying a property and having a strategic property plan. We'll also discuss when value-add strategies like renovations and developments actually make sense, and when they're a dangerous distraction. Takeaways · Strategic planning for wealth beats just buying an investment property. · Set clear, achievable long-term goals and reverse-engineer your property journey. · Use buffers and structured financing. · Avoid risky property flipping strategies. · Implement value-add strategies wisely. · A sequenced approach is vital for growing your asset base. · Ongoing planning and mentorship are crucial.

Julia Vaughan Smith joins me to explore what it really means to be a trauma-aware coach. We unpack the fear many coaches carry of getting it wrong, causing harm, or stepping outside their scope, and how that can undermine confidence. We look at the difference between working with trauma and working on trauma, and why coaching doesn't need to become therapy to be effective. We also explore the shadow sides of both coaching and psychotherapy, the rise of popular approaches like parts work, and how to stay grounded in good practice. Towards the end, we dive into the powerful dynamics between mothers and daughters, trauma entanglement, and how early relationships shape identity and behaviour. Find out more about Julia's work here: www.becomingourselvs.co.uk. ----------------------------------------------- Julia Vaughan Smith is a master accredited coach and supervisor, a retired registered psychotherapist and an author of three books including 'Coaching and Trauma', one of the very few books that deals with this topic and 'Daughters: How to Untangle Yourself from your Mother' which considers the trauma behind difficult and painful daughter/mother relationships and the entanglements that ensure. She has been teaching and talking about coaching and trauma since 2010 and ran Masterclasses with Jenny Rogers on the topic over several years. Other than coaching and psychotherapy, she has had a long and varied career. ----------------------------------------------- Join our membership program for coaches, facilitators, therapists and educators who want sustainable growth: https://embodimentunlimited.com/flourish/ ----------------------------------------------- Check out our YouTube channel for more coaching tips and our Podcast channel for full episode videos Uplevel your coaching with a free copy of Mark's latest eBook, The Top 12 Embodiment Coaching Techniques Join Mark for those juicy in-person workshops and events Fancy some free coaching demo sessions with Mark?

Most of the episodes in this podcast are populated with survivors telling their stories. But there are many more survivors who are not prepared to be interviewed and have their full stories heard around the entire world. For this very special episode, we asked survivors to either record or email us stories. The recorded stories include the actual voice of survivors. If survivors emailed us their stories, we used computer-generated voices to tell their stories for them. If you want to tell your story on WHEN DATING HURTS but do not want to be interviewed, either record and send us your narrative to us–or write your story as an email, and we will take it from there. Survivors need to know they are not alone. Your stories are precious because they bring comfort to others, and they influence victims to seek help in recovering their freedom. Thank you for listening to WHEN DATING HURTS.

We often think of negotiation as a series of rigid maneuvers performed in glass-walled boardrooms. We imagine sharp suits, legal jargon, and the clinical pursuit of "more."

You get a front-row seat to how Michael Grande turned hard-won tech chops and late-night studio hacks into real music-business wins. From escaping NAMM chaos and leveraging smart PR and management, to transforming a throwaway “stupid idea” into Card Chords—an Amazon-topping guitar tool born from a Cricut, Guitar Center testing, and sheer persistence—you see how necessity, experimentation, and saying yes the first time landed him in Jimi Hendrix's old bedroom at Electric Lady Studios, shredding in the lineage of Vai and Satriani, and inventing Tone Picks on the fly. Along the way, you're reminded that when you know you're right, you embrace it, protect your IP, and keep swinging big—whether that's launching music schools, eyeing Shark Tank with a bold offer, or pivoting your career from Wall Street CTO and Certified Ethical Hacker to full-on guitar innovator. Then you're pushed to rethink how you teach, lead, and build your own music brand. You learn why great schools and studios run on clear mission statements, strong unique selling propositions, and a coaching mindset that focuses on the student, not the curriculum—getting them hooked on the songs they actually want to play, then turning them toward what they need. You see how asking potential customers for their own answers, treating every audience like they matter, and showing up like a coach instead of a teacher all point to one core operating principle: you're never off-duty, because you Always Be Performing—ALWAYS. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 525 – Monday, March 16th, 2026 March 16th: Freedom of Information Day Guest co-host: Michael Grande from Card Chords and more 00:02:14 Getting out of NAMM 00:03:10 Have a good PR guy!

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Is 2026 the year Australia's housing market splits in two? We've had another interest rate rise. There's talk of tax reform. Global political instability is back on the radar. And yet, in some cities, entry-level property prices are still surging at double-digit rates. So what's really going on? Are we heading for a slowdown… or are supply shortages and strong demand about to push prices higher again? Today I'm joined by Dr Nicola Powell, Chief of Research & Economics for Domain, and while we'll unpack their latest First Home Buyer Report, this conversation goes much further than that. Because what's happening to first home buyers is a leading indicator. It tells us where demand is building, where pressure is intensifying, which cities are reshuffling their affordability rankings, and where mortgage stress is becoming structural rather than cyclical. We're also going to talk about what's ahead for our property markets this year in light of interest rate and tax changes. Takeaways · Domain's First Home Buyer Report examines future housing market trends in Australia. · The report shows rising entry-level prices in Brisbane and Perth. · Saving for deposits is harder as prices outpace wages, notably in Sydney and Brisbane. · Mortgage stress is increasing across capitals, affecting houses and units. · The rental market is tight, with modest rent growth expected. · Policy reforms should focus on supply, with faster approvals and smarter zoning. · Changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing need a balanced approach. · Modest price growth is expected, driven by population and migration. · Victoria is a fast-growing area with high housing demand. · No housing market crash is expected; markets remain fragmented.

In questo nuovo episodio della nostra rubrica di attualità, analizziamo i fatti che stanno dividendo l'opinione pubblica italiana in questa metà di marzo 2026. Dalla politica internazionale alla sociolinguistica, ecco cosa c'è sul tavolo oggi!Iniziamo con il caos diplomatico che ha coinvolto il Ministro della Difesa, Guido Crosetto, rimasto bloccato a Dubai proprio durante l'aggravarsi della crisi in Medio Oriente. Discutiamo delle polemiche sulle sue "ferie personali" e delle scuse presentate in Parlamento.A seguire, analizziamo i punti chiave del discorso della Presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni alla Camera e al Senato: l'appello all'unità nazionale, il caro carburanti e la posizione dell'Italia nel conflitto tra Iran, Israele e USA.Passiamo a un tema più leggero ma affascinante. Mentre i dati ISTAT 2024/2026 confermano che parliamo sempre meno dialetto in famiglia, assistiamo a un fenomeno opposto sui social e in TV: il dialetto è diventato "cool".
What if trends in financial markets are not anomalies, but the natural consequence of how markets function? In this episode, Niels and Richard explore the structural foundations of trend following. Drawing on research spanning 68 futures markets across four decades, Richard explains why markets exhibit persistent trends, fat-tailed returns, and volatility clustering. The discussion moves from oil market shocks to deeper questions about feedback loops, participant behavior, and regime shifts in financial markets. The conclusion is striking: trend following does not rely on fragile patterns.

Today if you haven't caught up with the previous episodes, we are now in chapter two, the statement of the problem and part one was an overview of the three defining features of prayer personal. Intercessory and persevering prayer. And then a more comprehensive look at the first feature, personal prayer. Now we enter into part two of chapter two, the statement of the problem experiencing God's power through intercessory prayer. With other burden leaders. And that's probably the key factor to this chapter. It is alongside intercessory prayer is coming alongside other burden leaders to pray. And so as I begin, as always it is with a discussion about. The hero of my dissertation, William Wilberforce, whom I have explained much about, but will do so more in this chapter. The renowned formation of Wilberforce's Clap sect is prominently described through letters of correspondence in John Reinhart's book.

Facing forward stands a creature with three dog-like heads with different fur colors. The heads emerge from serpent-like necks attached to a central body from which the top heads of three legs are visible. All eyes are glowing. All the snouts are contracted as if growling, mouths parted, revealing fangs. All ears are perked up. A forked tongue emerges from the head at right. Snake-like fangs drip a drop of venom from the head at left. Behind and above the heads, an armored segmented body is visible extending up out of frame. Extending down from top left of frame is a segmented spiked tail curling upward. Behind the creature is the opening of a cave. Rectangular image is made square with top and bottom borders that reflect blurred versions of the faces in the main image. Watermark of "Storyfeather" on cave wall, along right side of torso.

In this episode, Lucas Mack sits down with returning guest Brenden Whitney for a deep conversation about faith, truth, and the nature of reality. Brenden shares his personal journey from Mormonism to Christianity and how that transition reshaped his understanding of Jesus, scripture, and spiritual authority. Together, Lucas and Brenden explore why Jesus remains the most influential figure in human history and why that matters in a world filled with competing belief systems. The conversation moves into deeper territory as they discuss sovereignty, free will, and the mystery of whether even darkness and evil ultimately serve a greater divine purpose. Along the way they examine ideas surrounding biblical numerology, the human genetic code, hidden historical narratives, and the possibility that the modern world may function more like a deceptive “matrix” than we realize. Rather than promoting fear, Lucas and Brenden challenge listeners to reject manipulation and rediscover personal freedom through truth, faith, and spiritual hope. This episode invites you to question what you've been told about reality—and to consider the possibility that true liberation begins with seeing clearly. https://www.instagram.com/brenden.whitney/ Thank you for listening – if you're struggling to break free and need support – go to my website and www.lucasmack.com.

In this episode, Alan Dunne speaks with Aoifinn Devitt about what it really means to build resilient portfolios in a world of shifting regimes and competing narratives. Drawing on experience across pensions, hedge fund advisory, and private wealth, Aoifinn reflects on how institutional lessons translate to individual investors. The conversation explores the role of diversification, the evolving case for private markets, and the limitations of labels such as hedge funds, factors, or alternative assets. Along the way, they discuss the behavioral traps that influence allocators, the challenges of manager selection, and why outcome based investing may offer a clearer framework for navigating uncertain markets.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Aoifinn on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 02:16 - Introducing Aoifinn Devitt and her background03:14 - From corporate law to a career in finance05:16 - Institutional vs private wealth portfolio construction09:47 - How macro regimes influence asset allocation12:53 - Rethinking the endowment model and private markets15:32 - Private credit and diversification challenges18:13 - Total portfolio approach vs traditional allocation21:27 - Bonds, equities, and changing correlations27:52 - Concentration risk and the dominance of mega cap stocks37:33 - The evolving role of hedge funds in portfolios42:35 - Gold, commodities, and inflation protection46:23 - Behavioral biases and long term market cycles57:35 - Advice for young professionals entering financeCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Exodus 19-20 These chapters are pivotal in book of Exodus. Israel arrives at Mount Sinai, where God meets with them and enters into a covenant with them. Because of that, these chapters are also pivotal in the history of Israel and the entire Bible. God describes their status and vocation in Exodus 19:3-6: 3 And Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself. 5 Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; 6 and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.” God also gives Israel the 10 Commandments in Exodus 20 as the foundation of his covenant with them.

Dr Helen Machen-Pearce joins me again to look at what's happening in the modern trauma conversation. Trauma awareness has done enormous good, but we explore how the term is now being stretched, misunderstood, and sometimes used in ways that can disempower people rather than help them heal. We discuss the rise of self-diagnosis, the influence of social media psychology, and how trauma language can sometimes become identity, authority, or even ideology. We also look at the pressures inside the coaching and therapy world, including financial incentives, popularity dynamics, and the risk of trauma-informed work becoming what Helen calls "trauma-deformed".

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Have you ever noticed that some investors seem to move forward every year, while others stay stuck, despite reading the same books and listening to the same podcasts?

There was a time in my life when I felt like I was living at half capacity.I had ambition, purpose, and dreams about the man I wanted to become—but my daily reality didn't match that vision. My focus was scattered. My motivation was unreliable. My mind often felt foggy, restless, and distracted.For years, I believed the problem was simple: porn addiction.Pornography seemed like the obvious cause of my lack of discipline and direction. And while porn certainly played a role, something deeper became clear as I began my recovery journey.The real problem wasn't just porn.It was overstimulation.Modern life is quietly rewiring our brains. From social media and short-form content to video games, fast entertainment, processed food, and endless scrolling, our nervous systems are constantly bombarded with dopamine spikes. Over time, this creates what I call dopamine debt—a state where our baseline motivation, focus, and emotional resilience slowly erode.In this episode, I explore how digital overstimulation and dopamine dysregulation are making porn addiction harder to overcome. Pornography often sits at the top of what I call the stimulation ladder, where smaller sources of stimulation throughout the day gradually push our nervous system toward more intense dopamine hits.When we understand how dopamine, attention, and the nervous system work together, porn addiction stops looking like a mysterious personal failure and starts making psychological sense.And that understanding opens the door to real change.We'll dive into the neuroscience and psychology behind why so many people today experience brain fog, low motivation, attention span problems, and compulsive behaviors, and how these patterns connect to porn cravings and screen addiction.But more importantly, we'll talk about how to reclaim the nervous system.Because overcoming porn addiction is not just about stopping a behavior—it's about rebuilding a lifestyle that restores healthy dopamine balance, strengthens focus, and reconnects us with meaningful effort and purpose.When we begin lowering overstimulation and restoring balance to our nervous system, something remarkable happens.The constant pull toward extreme stimulation—including pornography—begins to fade.Focus returns. Motivation grows. Life becomes more engaging again.If you've ever struggled with porn addiction, brain fog, low motivation, or constant digital distraction, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of what's happening inside your brain—and how to start reclaiming your attention, your energy, and your life.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeFor a complete collection of all recovery tools and training, visit nomoredesire.com/tools. This is your central hub for the free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™, online courses, No More Desire Brotherhood, and more — all designed to equip you with the practical strategies and deeper framework needed to break free from porn and build lasting freedom.If you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, apply for my 1-on-1 Porn Addiction Recovery Coaching Program.

Maybe history doesn't exactly repeat itself, but it does have a way of rhyming. In many charismatic spaces today, some of the most troubling patterns from pre-Reformation Rome have resurfaced, and the body of Christ deserves an honest conversation about it. As continuationists, we aren't here to tear down Spirit-filled Christianity, but rather protect it.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua, Michael, and Michael walk through parallels between the errors of Rome and what we're seeing in charismatic church culture today. We'll cover the full spectrum: from the way extra-biblical practices have entered in to the church, to the devastating sexual immorality scandals that keep surfacing, to the cultural pressure that silences anyone who dares to question a prominent voice and more.If you've been burned by a church system that protected its brand over its people, this one's for you. If you're a charismatic believer who still believes in the gifts but can't ignore what you're seeing, we invite you to pull up a chair.0:00 – Introduction3:11 – Charismatic Self-Critique8:40 – Papal Authority Parallels25:07 – Unverified Miracle Claims35:53 – Indulgences & Simony46:42 – Extra-Biblical Practices56:31 – Clergy as Mediators1:05:18 – Sexual Immorality Parallels1:09:54 – Silencing DissentSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Have you ever had one of those moments where your child completely loses it over the wrong cup, a sibling getting too close, or one tiny thing at the end of the day? It can feel like they are actually mad at you- or their sibling. But actually, rude, defiant, or shutdown behavior might actually have a lot more to do with sensory overwhelm and a nervous system that's simply run out of capacity and almost NOTHING to do with how mad they are because you gave them the wrong cup. In this episode, you'll learn:Why behaviors like sass, sibling aggression, and “you never listen!” can look relational but actually begin with sensory stress in the bodyHow everyday sensory input like noise, lights, smells, textures, movement, and school environments can chip away at your child's window of tolerance?Why noticing your child's sensory world can help you respond with more clarity, less personalization, and more support for regulationResources mentioned in this podcast:When Parenting Triggers Your Own Trauma Part 1 of 6 {EP 250}Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior {EP 84}Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior webinar & eBookRead the full transcript at:RobynGobbel.com/traumashapednervoussystemUnderneath every behavior is something happening in the body, specifically in the nervous system.

The Church was never meant to thrive on priesthood alone. In this episode, John sits down with Fr. John Burns to talk about a part of the Church many people rarely think about until it is missing: consecrated women and religious life. Fr. John shares his own vocation story and the moment God redirected his life from pursuing success to becoming a priest. He shares the heart behind Friends of the Bridegroom, the apostolate he founded to help renew the Church by renewing consecrated life. Together, he and John discuss why the presence of sisters is essential to the life of the Church, what happens when that spiritual motherhood disappears, and how every Catholic has a role in helping restore it.

You invest in your team. You send them to training. You coach them. You expect them to grow.But let me ask you something — when was the last time you invested in you? Not for optics. Not for a keynote. Not because someone told you to. But because you wanted to elevate your game. I see a lot of senior levels plateau because they stopped working on themselves.Businesses evolve. Markets shift. Responsibilities increase.If you don't evolve at the same pace…the business will outgrow you. And so will your influence. Today, I want to talk about the skill most leaders neglect – and why it's costing them more than they realize. Let's dive in.> Links mentioned within
Want more than buzzwords and brainstorms? Mick Spiers sits down with innovation authority Bruce Vojak to explore how real breakthroughs actually happen. His message is clear: innovation is a human act first. It comes from curious people who challenge assumptions and reframe problems.From the evolution of the carrot peeler to a billion-dollar innovation at Procter & Gamble, this conversation shows how deep user understanding drives real change. Bruce also shares a practical playbook for leaders: create internal alignment, keep processes simple, empower your innovators, and focus on learning fast.We also tackle the harder question of unintended consequences and why leaders must ask: What can we make possible, and what have we just made possible?
This week continues our tribute to Lee Gossett with his second Spycraft 101 episode. Not only did he appear on the podcast twice, but he and Justin were regularly in contact via email from 2021 and on. He was an avid listener to the podcast and on many occasions had some inside knowledge of the events that we discussed. Today's interview originally aired as episode 75. In late 2022, Lee came back to discuss life after Laos, including his time in Central America and Somalia, and his work with early UAV programs. Even with the many stories he has shared, we likely only know a fraction of his true adventures all over the world. Rest in peace, Lee.

Money has a way of stirring up a lot during divorce—fear, anger, uncertainty, and sometimes a deep sense of injustice. And when it comes to spousal support, those emotions can run even higher. Questions like Who pays? For how long? And what's actually fair? can quickly turn into battlegrounds if you don't understand how the process really works. In today's episode, I'm joined by Anthony Diaz, also known as The Peacemaker—a family law attorney, mediator, and conflict resolution expert who has spent decades helping couples navigate divorce with greater clarity and far less conflict. Together, we unpack what spousal support really is, the factors courts consider, and how to approach these conversations from a place of calm strategy rather than fear or reactivity. Spousal support is often one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged aspects of divorce. Anthony helps bring clarity to the different types of support, the factors that determine whether support is awarded, how much is paid, and how long it may last. We also discuss how courts evaluate income and assets, when support can be modified, and why approaching these negotiations collaboratively often leads to far better long-term outcomes for both partners and their families. If financial conversations with your spouse have been tense or triggering, this episode will help you better understand the landscape so you can stay grounded, think strategically, and make informed decisions rather than reacting from fear. Anthony Diaz is not your typical divorce attorney. A Florida-based Family Law and Collaborative Divorce Attorney, Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator, and national conflict resolution expert, Anthony has dedicated his career to helping couples experience divorce in a more thoughtful and peaceful way. With a unique background as a former CPA and Assistant State Attorney, he brings both financial expertise and emotional intelligence to the process, helping families avoid unnecessary courtroom battles while creating solutions that support stability and respect. His philosophy is simple but powerful: even in divorce, peace is possible.

Markets can shift direction faster than the narratives used to explain them.

Are the tax benefits of bonus depreciation and real estate investing really as powerful as they're advertised? In this episode, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down the truth behind the popular tax strategy that many investors believe will dramatically reduce their taxes. The reality may surprise you.Using real examples, they explain how depreciation, cost segregation, and passive losses actually work — and why many investors misunderstand how those losses can (or cannot) offset income from a business or W-2 job. You'll learn the difference between passive and active losses, why many tax pitches exaggerate the benefits, and how strategies like the self-rental rule, material participation tests, and the short-term rental loophole can legitimately change the outcome.If you're considering a real estate investment mainly for the tax benefits, this discussion will help you evaluate the opportunity the right way.
