I plan to stay in this general area for at least the next 20 years and think buying real estate would be a great way to diversify my investment portfolio.So in almost any scenario you will come ahead buying vs renting over twenty years probably well less than half of that, but the investment you are making is a long term investment you probably won’t be able to leave after a year or two and rent for more than your mortgage, I’d really think about where you want to live medium-long term, than any investment metric, because the longer you stay the better the investment looks, and if you can move out sooner great, but I’d guess at minimum you’d have to stay 5 years before rents would catch up to your mortgage. 

I am understanding I can convert Operating Partner Units in an UPREIT to REIT shares (taxable) but the benefit is I can sell any percentage of the operating partner units, paying taxes on only that percent I sold.A friend that is a bank auditor, specializing in commercial real estate said:operating costs should total about 30%, leaving NOI 70%For us business people NOI in real estate is EBIDA (T left out as Taxes are an above the line expense)Any know, does the DST have to produce audited financial statementsSo now I feel I am better equipped to work with the RIRep and tackle the recommended PPMIf you really follow the track record of when these multi family unit being purchase and sell, average holding time is 3-4 years so you pay the premium in there and that's why how DST sponsor makes money.

Located inside the gated Diamond Bar tennis club community this prestigious 2 bed 2 bath second story Apartment town home with detached 1 car garage and 1 car port parking will leave you looking no further.

The only reason I’m leaving Hospitable is because I need integration with Marriott Homes & Villas.

This leaves here with almost $500k in capital gains to pay tax on.I'm trying to find creative ways in which she can minimize this tax burden. 

Honestly, it sounds like your current PM team has had issues from the start because onboarding four single-family properties should be a smooth and stress-free process when done correctly.A well-organized property management company should have a clear and efficient onboarding process that doesn’t leave you feeling overwhelmed.

By this point, they will have already thought about what might happen if you leave, including the need to turn over the unit and find a new renter.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

Feel free to take or leave my advice, but I think others will agree that, for now, you should focus on maximizing your savings rate, building your credit, paying off any owed debt, and house hack your first deal—just my two cents.

If I had to leave a takeaway from this post before getting too far in it would be that whatever goals are had you have, we have these goals for a reason and typically it does not go exactly as planned but even if it doesn't go as planned, we can pick up where we left off and give it a fresh start.
