This likely means fewer issues with payments and property upkeep. 

So you have to weight risk to reward.. and sometimes we have to eat one that we bought it happens..

I enjoy college football, video games, and lifting weights. 

I have a wife and 3 kids and the weight of their futures on my back.

Before I try to sell the idea to them I'd like to have the best data I can on potential earnings, upkeep costs, likely occupancy, and other points like that.

But if those payments feel like dead weight, Dave Ramsey’s “debt-free” mindset could be worth revisiting.Here’s a quick story to illustrate.

We do the land up keep and figured in the long run if we can use the other half of our plot for events it will offset any land keeping expense (do not mean anything by this just sharing , faith and movies always say helping others brings good luck.

The big difference here is that mineral rights don't need much upkeep outside of some property taxes in some places, whereas the home would be different. same with timber we did this when I was logging and buying land and timber rights in the 90s.

The DST is losing $ due to upkeep costs (foundation, HVAC, normal repairs, etc.).

Once you've identified what's important and what ratios to look for to evaluate a property, all future deals should be weighted against those "good" ratios/numbers - and periodically adjust to suit your goals.
