Question: Could someone recommend me some good quality US listed companies that invest in distressed US real estates?

Michael Morse: not exactly sure if this is what you want but they are in the residential industry. BIR-PA Berkshire Income Realty Inc …..i don’t think it’s part of warren’s collection, just a coinky dink name is similar.
Lorenz Lrz: I’m interested in those companies invest in residential properties. They dont have to be REIT.
Michael Morse: FNMA?
Cliff Johnson: not distressed, but a lot of diversified land in US PCL(Plum Creek Timber)
