I would say that among the profiles of DST investors I personally encounter in my practice, approximately 50-60% fall into those that flat out no longer want to deal with the TTTs, while the remaining 50-40% are scattered amongst A) those that need a backup scenario for their 45 day ID, B) those that need help matching up their debt/equity requirements and lastly C) those that have boot left to deploy after their primary choice(es).

Markets with high volatility and uncertainty in the job market are places I would look to deploy this tactic. 

If I look at other more favorable markets (better cash flowing deals) then that could be a place to deploy OPM.

Hi Ujwal - Yes, interest will be deductible as the funds are being deployed towards the other rental properties.

And they definitely needed that $200,000 for this renovation project, because as you can see, they and a lender who deployed the funds for this would likely be boarding a sinking ship. 

You are going to have to deploy equity, whether your own, or investor capital at some point to generate cash flow.

I am an accredited investor looking to deploy capital.

The capital to deploy higher than the Midwest but the margin dollars and compounding is higher.

We went with them as it seemed very hands off and I was getting ready to deploy.

I have about $200K to deploy.
