Quote from @Ian Stuart: In my opinion, multifamily NOI growth will slow over time as inflation pressures in the U.S. continue to weigh on tenants' disposable incomes (which detracts from their ability to pay higher rents).

I talked to his rep on the phone over a year ago, very high pressure.

That's how you truly learn and understand neighborhoods and where demand and supply pressures fall in your favor.

For example, if you buy in a semi-rural area or suburban area the pool of applicants can be much smaller and with an increase in supply it creates a downward pressure on prices and higher days on market averages.

There has been downwards pressure on rates this year due to the economy. 

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way—success and the pressure to achieve it can bring a lot of anxiety, especially when you’re just starting out.

It also reduces the likelihood of price fluctuations based solely on seasonal trends, allowing for more predictable cash flow and quicker returns.Markets with minimal seasonality also provide greater flexibility for investors, who aren’t pressured to time transactions based on seasonal cycles.

It feels like a desperate attempt to pressure someone into paying, but I've been surprised before. 

My impression of these DST's are as follows:  They are the easy way out of making a 1031 exchange with out the pressure of a replacement property in 45 days.They provide steady returns with no hassles, but generally low like 5-6 percentThey offer diversification of asset types.The cons are the fees to get into them and they are syndications that you don't have control over.

If you check under your trim you'll prob find places where the flooring is not touching the wall this will cause the floor to shift in those spots add some type of filler to put pressure against the wall and floor to avoid the seams having room to shift.
