According to him, some of the DST operators/brokers work together to sell off DST assets much sooner than planned.

Used houses in the area sell anywhere from $75-125 a square foot.These are long term rentals that I do not plan to sell.I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

And also, know everything about operating real estate, if you really want to know the risks: business plan, financing structures, ability to execute, market research to vet their underwriting assumptions, how fees can influence investment decisions...3.

Planning on renting the current residence home to group home in Minnesota as we move into a new home.

It became your strategic advantage.The Moral of the Story:Sometimes in tax planning, what looks like a lemon can make premium lemonade.

A potential goldmine for those seeking to increase property value and generate rental income.However, navigating this opportunity requires strategic planning.

Regarding BRRRing OOS - it can be very dangerous:(Too many newbies take contractors and agents at their word, when "trust, but verify" is extremely important.Given you're in Chicago, would recommend you plan 2 trips for a BRRRR:1) Initial walk-thru with contractor(s), which you should video for documentation & accountability.2) Final walk-thru BEFORE paying out final amounts to contractor(s). 

Over the next 5–10 years, I plan to scale to a portfolio of rental properties and eventually diversify into syndications.I’m particularly interested in the Lynchburg, VA market and other areas with strong rental demand.What I Bring to the Table:I’ve been saving aggressively, and I’m exploring physician loans to help get started with minimal upfront costs.I’ve done a lot of reading (shoutout to BiggerPockets books!)

@Diana Teng there are a LOT of potential pitfalls:(So, it's vitaly important to not just find someone that you think you can trust because they tell you what you want to hear, but you find someone that their processes seem a good fit for what you want.EXAMPLE: we do BRRR Turnkeys for clients and take numerous vides we share with them - initial, worst state of any demo, when HVAC, plumbing, electrical update BEFORE walled in, before any major payouts and of course a final walk-thru video.One thing that's accurate from all the HGTV renovation/flip shows is that you should expect and plan for surprises!

My plan is to buy the house subject to their existing mortgage, renovate the property, refinance it and pay off their remaining loan balance using the money from the cash out refinance.
