You’re pulling money from a long-term compounding vehicle to fund a potentially higher-risk asset.

I think Collin is being a little tongue in cheek with the Boone's Farm comment.I work with a local, large wine store, wait for their semi-annual sales when they compound discounts and buy 2 cases of each (white & red) for the largest discount.Basically I'm setting out wine that retails for $11-12-13 that I have paid $7-8 a bottle.  

And you’re able to confidently predict an 16 - 18% annualized return COMPOUNDED ROI.  

This new twist of claiming you owe them money is a typical scam tactic to put you on the defensive so you won't contact them about the money they actually owe you. 

I've also heard it can be a good thing to have some debt against a property because if any issues arise legally, the bank will be the first line of defense. 

Fill with joint compound and use your old paint for touch up.   

I suspect it will be well used and have high maintenance costs.Software: office of google office, asana, possibly quickbooks (i would normally not suggest for a single rental, but the rent by room compounds things).  

Your options at that point would be tremendous given the savings and compounding.  

Instead, the income can be put back into the DST and compounded and then invested in Stock, Bonds, Mutual Funds.

Then you add the compounding effect of hurricane Dorian and it was crickets.
