I retract my previous statements: Concord has Class B, C, maybe C-/D+ areas, Walnut Creek has  A-, B and possibly C+ areas.

You can choose bigger players like Vacasa/Evolve to manage.. 3. self manage - save money, but need to deal with everything from marketing to booking  etc Good luck on your journey.

Prior, most syndications were structured as a Tenant In Common (TIC) structure for the 1031 exchange investor.As a result, many of the active DST players are either reinvented from the ashes of that crisis, or entirely new.There are some inherent (unanimous voting by all members to make any decisions) reasons why the TIC was replaced by DSTs, but I’ll save you the history lesson.The most useful lesson coming out of the last recession (and I share your perspective on the cyclical pattern coming around the corner ahead) is how different asset classes faired.You can get that data from public filings from REITs, who have to report far more data and intel than OTC private placement investments.Fast forward to the COVID crisis.

househacking is equivalent to reducing substantial expense, and it's also the easiest.Flip would be heavy money maker if done correctly.The other one are just typical double CD rate investment LOL, 70k brings you nothing lol

If you have a choice between investing in a vacation property that you might actually use from time to time when it isn't rented and buying another C/D rental out of state, go with the vacation property.

If theyre just going to send you a portfolio booklet or send you to a website of all their listings tell them to pound sand.Yes it's vitally important to know who you are working with, and have the history of the players involved.

U either drive the cashiers check to the Trustee and redeem or you have a courier take it there.in Practice when Northwest Trustee in Seattle was the big player we had a Courier drive it up and it helps to be on first name basis with the gals that work for the trustee like we were.

He now has a bad rep as I spread his name to the other players in my market. 

That is a rate of return of 6% on your money per year.Compare that with earning 5% in a high yield savings account (or higher in a CD) as of today and it takes ZERO effort and has ZERO risk.  

Again, maybe this makes sense for bigger players where the time input is worth for their 10 properties.
