I have a million other questions, but honestly if you’ve made it this far I don’t want to abuse the privilege.

Then the compound interest of starting so young would help a ton too.

Going another 2, 3, or 4 years before getting it to work for you chips away at the power of compound interest for you. 

You lose that privilege when that is your primary business, or you've don 2+ transactions and the IRS considers you a dealer.

A compounding factor was I vacated the property at the end of the typical military move cycle and as such there wasn't a new batch of military personnel expected in for another 5-6 months.Brenda Layman & Steve Babiak, I can't imagine they are really making any money at all right now.

And you can take out the pay outs or compound them. 

@Bryan Harvey,  You've got 27 years of compounding deferral already in the bag. 

If you're wanting to stay in real estate for 20 years then an upreit loses you 20 years potentially of tax deferred growth and compounding of those tax deferred dollars.Everyone's got an opinion on DSTs. 

But there are other. ways to turn your portfolio more passive while still keeping the compounding of the deferred tax. 

Not sure who I am dealing with as the payoff letter went to AAG Calif. and the payoff came from FNC title in Maryland.In reflection, the time between the supposed closing and getting the money compounded by the total non response to phone calls and emails along with lack of supporting docs bothered me the most.
