True, there is tax court if they go against you, but for the most part that's not a realistic alternative.

Both will do very well for years to come.That might be true but that doesn't mean they're moving to Cleveland or Detroit.

If you are inclined to go down the DST route, I would highly recommend going with a RIA who can help save you on fees and provide true due diligence analysis.

That's true regardless of whether you have REP status. 

. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

I would suspect that the opposite is true, but it's certainly less expensive to get into than a metro market like Chicago. 

Of course the last few years were an anomaly, but it's not crazy to assume that this trend will stay true going forward.Congrats on your success though!

That is true with almost any material item.

Is that true? 

But also, even as Joe points out in his book, the true value of a syndicator is pulling together all the pieces.
