So the Development company offering the DST has already bought a property and secured a "non-recourse loan" to help buy the property.Just like a regular SFR, the DST offers your proportion of the rental income, Mortgage cost, the repair cost, the depreciation, utilities, the improvements costs or depreciation in the form of a typical Schedule E for you to file with your taxes.Hope this helps.

Is the (net) return much different proportionally than what your primary would be if/when you rented it out?

As a result, the poor compaction of the soils on the left side led to severe settlement of the garage slab.

Dave this conversation has blown out of proportion LOLFirst you say I don't know what ROI is and now you're telling me I'm making all these stuff up to win an argument over internet LOL you're something else man!

Sometime the material and compaction is not adequate, and with a lot of rain (or not) specially during hurricane season, the soil could easily be saturated, building up a lot of hydrostatic pressure that even some retaining walls can't handle...

This is part of why I'm not a huge fan of the "50% rule" -- it implicitly assumes that prop taxes go up as rents go up proportionally, which very well may be true in 49 states, but it is not true in California.Your local lender can teach you how to calculate a very close approximation for what your property tax bill will look like, once the county tax assessor ganders at your purchase price and adjusts the bill accordingly.

Primarily, I think an investor oriented realtor should work on a flat fee instead of proportional commission.  

IMO - this is all being blown out of proportion.

Housing is affordable and rent seems high in proportion.

Leverage is a catalyst for growth.... in finance, levels of reward, usually is proportional to risk level - or should anyway.
