Rates are high enough, but borrowers will not pay anything meaningful towards principal on a fully amortized loan anyway..especially with current rates, these loans won't last forever.

And was my same conclusion, further more I would add that the DST's, due to the regulatory conditions they are constrained by, must use brokers to sell the DST offerings and the PPM docuemnts are difficult to get a hold of, in any kind of consistent regular basis, without dealing with DST sales person....and so all the hassle to get meaningful documentation to analyze, only to find the above quoted stuff showing ridiculous numbers(expenses and commissions) buried in the PPM.I found it very annoying and unproductive, only suitable for "boot" or absolutely no other option because you are already in 1031 escrow and no time left to identify your upleg, so it's DST or pay 45% Cap gain because your in top bracket and in a high tax state(CA).
