Looking to help in picking a good DST broker
I'm going into 1031 exchange and want to invest into DST's. Seems to be a lot of good brokers out there. I've looked into Kay properties, Chicagoland1031, Corcapa1031, and a few individual brokers. Does anyone have any good/bad to say and if you have purchased DST's have you been happy with them?

@Eric McGlennon @Brandon Burns
I haven't felt that way about the broker being just the intermediary between me an the DST sponsor.
A good broker also has an extensive real estate background and can hopefully increase your odds of picking a winner that would return all 3. 1) capital preservation, 2) income generation, and 3) capital appreciation.
Just my thoughts,
