Happy to have found your post and I am looking forward to connecting with you and other investors in Peoria. 

I had a few conversations with Cheryl as well as a couple references that she sent me as well as a few that I found on my own.

Deal found and negotiated in house.

I have found a property on the MLS and looked at it with my realtor. 

I know of 3, 2 that I work with the most for my clients, but what I have found is the inherent issues that come with them. 

Meet multiple GCs in person and once you've found the right one, make sure you build a solid relationship and trust with the GC you'll be working with. 

I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you come across anything.I did this for five years and found a hoarder house, the house of a deceased woman that the family wanted to sell discreetly, a vacation rental in a desirable location, a six-plex, an 11-plex, an office, and a nice golf-course home.

My seller was supposed to fixed the main sewer as we found out leaks during inspection.

I have not found any unbiased data to show that DST's are safe and more advantageous than cashing out by paying the capital gains.

Local Relator in the area repped both sides after we found the deal
