I think @Jonathan Greene evaluating both is spot on.

Once I know they are needy I evaluate the emergency and if not immediate I may or may drop in next time I am in the area.

After a lot of evaluation, I believe BRRRR is our best option.

I need to be able to evaluate the investment. 

I'd encourage you to evaluate the REIT first, then the DST second.

I will be up there this upcoming week and will evaluate what needs to be done and look for a handyman and cleaner that are close by.

I ended the offer to rent to the tenant on December 1st and didn't receive any communication from LMHA until December 15th when they tried to schedule the inspection...that's 45 days to process a voucher.We had another home pass inspection on November 5th and we hadn't "stopped and waited" for LMHA because it had never been a major issue before so we let the tenant move in...LMHA announced on November 15th that the tenant voucher needed to be re-evaluated by LMHA and that the rent rate needed to be adjusted (The story was the "Administrator A" reviewed and approved it but since they had resigned, now we had to wait for "Administrator B" to do it.

Are there specific factors or trends you would suggest evaluating to make a more informed decision?

As I evaluate this, I figured I'd share my account with my bookkeeper, but then realized that would also give them access to my accounts.Don't get me wrong, I like Baselane so far, but this might be a fatal flaw for me.

Being in North Carolina gives you a great mix of in-state potential and easy access to nearby markets.As you connect with others, don’t hesitate to ask about any specific steps in wholesaling, flipping tips, or how to evaluate rental properties.
