When I see new investors with healthy budgets ask these questions in an open forum I always envision a bunch of sharks circling him in the water.

I would just make sure to have a healthy reserve account.

(i'm probably more in wealth preservation mode vs wealth accumulation). i also don't mind the idea of DST being an illiquid investment since i still have a healthy brokerage account, a 401K when i turn 59.5, no debts and a 250K line of credit that i can tap into if i run into any emergencies.

I am more comfortable with this since I've done it a few times, but by no means immune to mistakes or misjudgment that can/have cost me money.Getting a good team on the ground is important and I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses with the 'big 4'  etc, but, yes depends on your risk.

Having a healthy reserves in your analysis will help a ton down the road.

For reference- healthy inventory levels or a balanced market is 6 months of inventory. 

Our goal was to grow our own healthy food in harmony with the land as well as build within 5 years.

It ends up just being an extra step in the loan approval process but we are good customers with a healthy deposit relationship. 

After doing so, I should be able to cover all my expenses, set a more comfortable amount of money aside for reserves, and take a healthy monthly profit from the rental income.However, I have delayed turning over the units because I'm nervous to rock the boat with the tenants in the current climate with eviction moratoriums and, from what I'm reading, delinquent courts in many areas even when evictions should be legal under the moratorium guidelines. 

We dealt with a dozen or so contractors and subcontractors, nevermind all of the interested regulators (feds, state, county, city) so I got a healthy dose of understanding code, zoning, and contractor... relations.
