Reply to comment by Swiftnice in Srs Question - how to bet against commercial real estate by UserNameTycoon

Cardboard boxes are too risky right now with inflation and changes to forestry policy. I want empty boarded up buildings.

There aren’t many tools available to retail investors that would allow you to short commercial RE (that I’m aware of) however I would think shorting or buying puts in a commercial RE REIT might be about as close as you can get? Jim Chanos initiated a major short on the two large data center REITS not too long ago. If you research his thesis it is compelling.
