It'd be better to pocket the cash in my opinion and invest elsewhere.It seems like there's a bit of conflict between where you are and where you'd like to be.

you will hear different opinions.

Go search the topic "Lifestyle Asset University" here on Bigger Pockets and you will see a longer thread with a lot of opinions (most are not members) but still worth a read as there are a half a dozen paid members from our group who have commented on that thread.We were formerly called Lifestyle Asset University, but I didn't realize that you couldn't use the word University in your company name here in Utah so we changed our name to Vodyssey. 

Banks must approve a short sale for a short sale to take place, and banks hire appraisers and other real estate agents to perform broker price opinions (BPOs), or estimated values of the home.The goal would be to negotiate with the seller before the home becomes a short sale. 

The DST I purchased with Allegiancy (Alorica DST in Ft Worth, TX) did not do good due diligence (in my opinion) regarding the structural quality of the buildings they purchased for this DST in 2022. 

I have 6 month calls on TLT and redfin which should do well in the apparant recession that we are running headfirst into this fall/winter.I am out of long term stock market and my opinion is it is dangerous to be in right now unless you are going to stay in for years. 

All of us Buffalonians are bullish on the Buffalo market and the Bills, but we have fairly biased opinions LOL!

Again, that is my opinion, and I'm sure others will claim they are truly turnkey.A turnkey operator finds or builds a property.

In my opinion the quality vendors, tenants and owners appreciate most is timely responses and communication.

Atleast be upfront with people on it as your opinion is clearly bias.
