Curious what you found out, even if it didn’t work out. 

@Bruce Woodruff I anticipate it will work out to remain about the same.

You suffer from the same fallacy many here do of believing that every open deal is going to work out.

If you bank at a retail bank it's likely that you could pull a cashier's check to provide  certified funds.As to the wisdom of using other people's money (that you are solely responsible for) you'd better be comfortable with repayment even if things don't work out as planned.

Just fill out the paperwork and you’ll be surprised how quickly it can work out.

Eventually, it will turn and work out "in the end" but the opportunity cost to waiting is too high to warrant keeping it if you don't love the property.I'm not sure how helpful that is; I am bullish on the area and own 1 property in Temple.

This will probably not work out well if your wife is not fully on board.

How you structure the deal will be dependent upon the two of you, but you may make a finders fee, or work out a partial ownership, or something else.

I'm not smart enough to work out the math of which option would be best, or how long it would take for the syndication option to overtake the DST option. 

I work out of state so I'm only home on the weekends, also I don't have a large amount of capital for direct mail.
