The reason I post this here is because I got totally different answers from two CPAsHere is the story:I bought the house as investment property and run it as STR for the last two years.

The Bond market agrees with that assessment and is dubious there will be more than 2 total cuts in 2025.

Here are some key elements to include:Lease Agreements: Ensure your contracts reflect the latest laws, such as notice periods for entry or rules around security deposits.Fair Housing Compliance: Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local fair housing laws to avoid discriminatory practices.Property Standards: Regularly inspect your properties to ensure they meet safety and habitability standards.Tax Documentation: Keep accurate records to comply with tax reporting requirements.4.

Totally agree.

In total it cost me about $500.Unfortunately, I was not able to reconcile the needs of my niche market with what the Capital Syndicate had to offer. 

Say they sold the properties over 3 year period and could not sell the rentals together as a portfolio.Could they put the money from each sale into a DST then use the total to buy a expensive rental property?

This isn't totally necessary, but meeting property owners if you need to is a great way to win a deal

So, if the total payment was  2500 you would only need to cover 1000 dollars a month with your income. 

I've collected thousands in security deposit from my guests who've caused damage.

This is a significant potential benefit that can impact everything from security deposits to rent controls to eviction procedures.
