When scanning the current headlines regarding the country's financial crisis, it's interesting to note which players had any skin in the game.

Mortgage Brokers?
They collected their fee and were done.

Borrowers?
They put $0 down and provided only “stated income.”

Lenders?
They just sold the loan to Wall Street.

The Rating Agency?
Like the mortgage brokers, they collected their fee and were done.

We purchase all our properties before we offer them as tenant-in-common investments. If we weren’t enthused about owning these properties, we wouldn’t ask you to be either.

That’s the FORT Difference.
