As others have said, no REI is totally passive, if you find the right group with all venders in place, the investors that I work with find it can be a pleasant transaction.  

I need to experiment with the RH option... it takes a few clicks to get to the option, but supposedly it will try to reconcile the bank pulled transactions and receipts for me, so if it does do that, would be nice.

Taking a small cut to cover transaction costs and operational expenses is standard in platforms facilitating financial agreements.

Appreciate if anyone can provide a rundown of costs to expect with this type of transaction?

I have serious doubts that the company officers have maintained their fiduciary duty to RAD's investors in many of these related-party transactions. 

So you transactional income and drip income.. both can be scaled.

Hi @Ben Lindquist, The 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary is a crucial part of any successful 1031 Exchange transaction.

Do they want the transactional expert or would a relationship be more valuable to them?  

I’d prefer to buy as large of a MF property as possible because of economies of scale and having to complete less transactions, but I haven’t closed or underwritten a deal that large before.

2025 will be another slow year with low transactions similar to 2024.
