It’s also easier to diversify because usually you can put in a smaller amount as a fractional owner, rather than having to purchase the whole property like in directly owned.  

He will offer you a fraction of what you lost if you sign an agreement first.

Agree with Bruce . . . take a look at Home Depot or Lowe's and get one for a fraction of what you are being quoted - installation is under an hour. 

They present a fractional ownership interest in a large investment property. 

The DST allows you to own a fraction of a large real estate asset and avoid management responsibilities while garnering passive cash flow and having the DST absorb any debt you need to place non-recourse to you.

A DST is an investment vehicle that holds title to income-generating properties, allowing investors to have a fractional ownership in commercial real estate.

It would make more sense to me to just buy an old RV or travel trailer for a small fraction of the cost.  

@Ethan Summers  that was my entire point... desperation time is 72 hours or so before they are going to lose it.... 90% of the ones I bought were 48 hours .. that's when reality sets in.sending letters within days of the initial NOD  ( notice of default is what we call them here) your just one of hundreds.. so its just slinging mud on the wall)  and with default a fraction of what they were 10 years ago... not as many fish in the barrel. 

Do they want to sell fractional ownership (start-ups are entering into that space now)?  

Driving for dollars is a great way to find deals at a fraction of the cost.
