Has anyone done a 1031 into DSTs that can share their experience? 

Quote from @Joel Bechtel: The agent I spoke with has about 30 years of insurance experience, so I’d hope she knows what she’s talking about and what she’s offering.I have another policy with Allstate for my 6-unit property, which they were able to insure for approximately $890K because the replacement cost came in under $1M.

He ends up with a "one size fits all" set of percentages, after he goes through, and bypasses the actual numbers. 

I’d love to connect with others who are house hacking or rehabbing in the area and share experiences.

(I have experience raising money as a professional musician so this came somewhat naturally to me). 

Getting that first property is exciting—and yeah, NYC is no joke when it comes to price of entry.Honestly, a lot of people I’ve talked to in your shoes end up finding better opportunities just outside the city.

Begin with the end in mind and work backward to develop a roadmap for achieving your goals.

What is the easiest way to connect with those who have actually invested in this fund and find out their experience?

Interesting concept Id like to see if that works out for you in the end...
