., mobile homes often lose value over time unless they are situated on owned land) and tenant turnover.However, tax advantages include depreciation deductions, which allow you to offset rental income by writing off the property's value over time, and cost segregation, which accelerates certain deductions.

Not to mention they wrote of over $300k worth of taxes for me utilizing a cost segregation study. 

In option 2, your costs are $25k higher.

The DST is losing $ due to upkeep costs (foundation, HVAC, normal repairs, etc.).

The Highway 64 property presented a great opportunity due to its low acquisition cost and potential for substantial value increase.

My cost basis for my properties are consistently off from my tax returns because Stessa will include everything in the basis even though it shouldn't be.  

Costs will seem high relative to the loan amount on these smaller loans, $5-6k in lender fees isn't uncommon.
