After all if you get the deal done, you are creating more opportunity for everyone involved!

Often times the transaction between the DST and the REIT involve a significantly lower commission for the brokers.

The strategy involves using the HELOC for a flip to generate fast cash, reinvesting profits into long-term rentals, or exploring alternative ventures like short-term rentals or partnerships.

Self-managing can be a great way to stay directly involved, but it’s also important to consider the demands it can place on your time, resources, and expertise.I'm certain, you have experienced some real frustrations with that PM company, but a strong property management company that can align with your overall needs, can sometimes be a priceless investment when it comes to staying compliant. 

If we let 30 RVs on the property it may attract too much attention, but being conscious of neighbors the rural area takes on more of a 'ask for forgiveness rather than permission' vibe for anything that doesn't involve permanent structures.   

If either of them were to stay involved, it could cost you money and you would collect less.Send it to collections yourself.

If I wanted to be more involved I may have considered starting a real estate biz like wholesaling, flipping, property management, etc.So, I would first determine how much time you want to 'invest' along side that $200k. 

Due to personal faith based reason, I prefer to only invest in all cash deals that don't involve traditional financing (so typical passive RE options like syndications, RE funds with fixed returns, REITs etc are not a viable option for me).

True off market deals are ones that you find yourself, direct from the seller without a wholesaler or any other middle person involved. 

I agree with Chris, why get a third party involved.
