I purchased my DST via https://seracapital.com/1031-e...Carl assisted me as a fiduciary consultant instead of a DST salesperson hoping to earn 6-10% commission on (actually out of) my investment.

@Brittney Yang first red flag is it doesn’t sound like he’s that interested in long term holds but the primary reason for partnership is expertise in renovation and secondary reason is balance sheet and income to help get financing.Regarding reason one, I would offer to compensate him for his time in assisting you and have a very clear scope of what that responsibility is.  

If I can help I’m happy to assist!

I'm always up to chat, though, if I can be of any assistance to you!

Best of luck and spend every minute learning.

If you need any assistance or have questions, feel free to reach out. 

Unfortunately most spend most of their time and resources preparing for the liability event. 

We are firmly in the performing note camp and spend only a handful of hours on each loan from beginning to end.

I currently have about $50k in cash and am looking to spend no more than $250k on my first property (less depending on the area, number of units, etc.), inclusive of any renovation costs. 

@JD Gunter I agree and should add that I spend 2-10 hours on the phone/zoom with each applicant before I let them into the program.
