There is no self-promotion in these videos, so hopefully they stick around:https://youtu.be/dhfK2lhwOq0https://youtu.be/RGudwkxF3Yghttps://youtu.be/0YNLm5IXnn4

I don't know how many phone calls and emails I got from this company promoting their investments a few years back. 

I personally didn't like it because you have to do everything yourself everyday - go buy all the products in Costco or other huge stores, looking for discounts and promotions to get a better price (because most of the profit in vending comes from a very cheap prices when you buy bulk).

I'd suggest reading some books (The ones promoted by Bigger Pockets are excellent), and listening to a bunch of podcasts. 

The people writing these obviously have hours and hours and hours of free time to write and promote this crap, that means they aren't actually out there DOING IT.

Over time various sites have popped up to promote wholesalers deals, but I don't think any of them really gained any traction.

Good news is no closing costs and a promotional first year advance rate.

The help for affordable housing lies in less restrictive zoning, less burden from regulation, a viable freeway system, less expensive permits and development fees, and an attitude promoting sensible development.

BP, I'm not promoting them on this thread. 

So there would be no more or less risk than choosing a syndication, and you do the due diligence in the same way.The big thing with DST’s is that on the plus side they generally do not charge a promote/carry because they are prohibited by SEC rules.
