I keep a portion of my net worth in these high-yield accounts as a diversification strategy.

I also invest with many other syndication groups as well for different types of diversification.

Rather, in 2004 DSTs replaced TICs as the preferred way to echg out of our fee simple property into multiple properties & thereby increase our diversification & safety.

I am diversifed and also have properties in the Midwest. 

There must be multi-family networking groups where you live, where you can start to make connections.As for investing in a fund vs. a single property, there is the benefit of diversification.

Diversification is a good thing, and these brokerage accounts are a mechanism to keep contingency funds or earnings actively deployed within the program as opposed to sitting idle in cash.That said, there may be benefits to maintaining a separate IRA elsewhere for reasons of asset segregation. 

In a situation such as yours, real estate being more of an income diversification or retirement vehicle, turn-key or minimum value-add would be the way to go.

There are a few different kinds, but if you're not necessarily looking for asset diversification and your existing props are cash flowing well, you can use a FLIP trust which allows the trust to pass net income on to you (so you get the same income you would without the trust) while it holds the properties as-is.

Nice to have that diversification and foothold in a desirable resort area.
