In my opinion, they should make everyone have a profile pic and have it verified, but that's kind of too big of an ask.

Staying active and engaged is crucial.Build a Robust Profile: Your profile should showcase the deals you've done and include reviews from past clients.

I'm curious what "the profile" of a DST investor is?

I initially wanted to buy something using the BRRR strategy that fits the 1031 profile.

@Nick Burrell your profile doesn't list any goals, but saw your other post about fix & flips. 

If the current MtM tenants fit that profile, great!

Now I see the magnifying search glass in the upper right part of the (desktop)screen, next to your profile bubble and Alerts.After you click Search, be sure to filter on 'Forum' topics.

Yes I invest in midterm/short term rentals myself in SA and I help many investors in my network and on bigger pockets find rentals here in San Antonio/New Braunfels.you can read some of my references and testimonials on my profile or google page 

If you're getting back into the lending game for long-term hold investors, a realistic “ideal” loan might look like this:Rates: Somewhere around 6-8% interest, depending on the risk profile of the borrower and the property.LTV: 70-80% LTV is solid, especially if you're aiming for lower risk.Term: 5-10 years works for LTR investors who want stability.Fees: Reasonable origination fee (1-2%) is expected, but avoid nickel-and-diming borrowers with hidden fees.Prepayment: A soft prepayment penalty could be fair if paid off in the first couple of years, but after that, no penalties.Speed: Being able to close quickly (within a couple of weeks) would be a huge plus.In short, give investors a competitive rate, decent terms, and flexibility on prepayment, and you’re golden.
