A better option would be to partner with someone who can bring the capital needed in exchange for you contributing your time, labor/effort, and expertise.

Haha, I don't precisely know how to explain it, but I value it when people disagree with me and point out things that I may not have considered or may not know.

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

The major advantage DSTs have over many other types of passive real estate investments is that they qualify as replacement property in a 1031 exchange.

However, I am seeing more interest in MTR's and have a colleague that does well buying condos and renting out to traveling medical workers and foreign exchange students.  

The last few years we've just been nickel and dime-ing it--  picking up small value add add-ons near existing properties and recently did a "trade-up" 1031 exchange sale/purchase for a newer/better neighborhood property with one less but larger higher rent units.

.* Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

Long term play would be to either use it as a short term rental or 1031 exchange it after 2+ years.
