I've read some posts and am encouraged on the wealth of information here... 

I am excited to connect with fellow investors, share insights and experiences, and work towards achieving our collective goals.I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this vibrant and dynamic community of real estate investors, and I look forward to building valuable relationships, gaining valuable knowledge, and making a meaningful impact in the world of real estate investing.

I think the best is to encourage those to continue to learn and grow their mindset.

Thank you very much for the encouragement.  

Based on my personal journey and accomplishments, I want to highlight that everyone has the potential to succeed in real estate investment and create a meaningful difference in their own lives and the lives of others.

I'd encourage you to evaluate the REIT first, then the DST second.

I’m not a fan of including utilities as you encourage tenant waste and your property appears to be more expensive than the comps. 

Society, technology, etc continue changing overtime but the way people act is still fundamentally the same, which is why the cycle will continue.Summary:2006: peak of the cycle and beginning of the 18 year cycle repeating itself2007-2011: 4 years of decline2012 - 2019: 7 years of an appreciating market plus 2020 & 2021 due to COVID and low rates.2022-2023: mid cycle slowdown caused by rate hikes but home prices still rising2024-2026+: Home price growth continues especially due to extremely low inventory, inflation, and other macro factors.2012 - 2026: generally sees 14 years of price growth, completing the cycle.Before everyone comes in and starts telling me I'm wrong, I encourage you to read the book and then see if you still feel the same way.

@Jay Dave if you are not already, I strongly encourage you to join RHAWA (The Rental Housing Assoc of WA) and/or have a good attorney on standby.
