I’ve reviewed a number of theses DST’s across numerous asset classes  and there performance /returns are generally fairly low and unimpressive. 

It’s good to budget for unforeseen expenses.Regarding PMI, it’s worth discussing directly with your loan servicer since many lenders require holding the property for a period or reaching specific equity thresholds before removal.If market rents are $2,200–$2,500, hiring a property manager could help you optimize rent while taking the burden of tenant screening off your plate.

You would assume that sellers know that they should optimize NOI before listing, but most don't and STILL want you to pay a price based on what NOI could be.

He even agreed to selling me one of his since it’s already performing and ready to go.

The investment itself seems to have been under-performing since the very first quarterly report.

So you shouldn't count on appreciation to justify under performing STRs.
