But you've got to vet well.The other key factor is that both are designed to be passive but stable opportunities with experienced operators (either the national corporation tenant or the DST sponsor) managing the property so you don't have to.  I

If I am not finding any rentals where I can drive to, I may consider OOS TK properties.

Is a shame how many of us trying to do the right thing and to have sense of community and good relationship with people has shifted just to "is just a merely business and all tenants are not worth it".  

Why people buy houses based off a dozen pamphlet pictures in a town they’ve never been to is beyond me.

Point is nobody you rent to is going to take care of a (truck or house) you own the same as you do.

@Rob Smith You have to answer your own question when it comes to "is that considered a good investment?"

Making money on it isn't going to be a high priority to them, although some still hold out hope for that inheritance, or big lottery win...right up to the day they are forced out.If the buyer you are wholesaling to is looking to flip this house, then it's not a good deal.  

I guess for instance what I am getting at is if I were to get this property "subject to" the financing already in place, then turn around and Lease Option it with a tennant with the option of buying the property after 1 to 2 years with a predetermined amount the tennant would purchase for, if I used a quit claim deed for the original seller, and then obviously if the tennant chose exercize their option to buy at the price set, the quit claim then would mean the original seller would not be able to recieve any profit unless you chose to...is that right or am I in left field again?

"TIE IT UP" before someone else takes it so you are in control and then you have some time to figure out the situation and best path forward and can still get out of the deal if you have to. I
