Almost every partnership fails and many end like a bad divorce.

It seemed like a long-term play with less price or industry volatility.

Hey Jon would recommend checking out FB groups if you aren't local (looks like you're based in the Bay).

The other part sounds like it was a rehab and now held for sale, which does not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment. 

Sounds like a great plan. 

There are a few different areas I like to target, depending on your goals and budget.We also host a monthly real estate networking event -- "NorCal Real Estate Mastermind" -- First Wednesday of every month at 6pm at Lucid Winery on R St.

Would like confirmation on that though.For Solara, there seems to be no restrictions but a lot of houses for sale. 

@Michael Overall, The length of time that a DST is open is going to keep you from doing this over time like @Jon Taylor said. 

I also like the strategies outlined in Brandon Turner's "Rental Property Investing" book.  

If there is a tenant in the property expect that they will likely leave within 6-12 months after you purchase so you can expect to do a rent turn and budget for that.
