It does make sense to hone in on one thing; I get shiny object syndrome sometimes.Thanks for the feedback!

My best advice to you is to keep it simple, ignore the shiny objects syndrome and the over analysis/paralysis syndrome.

Your profile states that you are pretty much interested in everything and as a fairly new investor myself I can appreciate that as the proverbial shiny object syndrome it can be tough to decide what is best for you.  

After publication the estate will start receiving marketing letters from investors as well as real estate agents.But what could be a "deal killer" is if a family member, for whatever reason (disdain for the PR, infighting between family members, etc. etc.) signs Objection to Proposed Action.

First of all, I'll state my objective here so I'm clear what I'm looking for.

There are a host of issues that can arise if individual members of the LLC want to get their money out or object to the 1031, but there are strategies to address those situations.

I'm looking for more quality than quantity at this point.But if another recession hits, I want to have access to lots of capital to buy those great deals.Three ways#1 save for the future.  

Based on the limited knowledge I have, I would say it all depends on what your long term objectives are.

How does one account for the utility and make an objective decision in this case?

It is so easy to get distracted by the shiny objects when listening to the podcasts but when you listen to one of the Denver folks talk about a deal from here it inspires me to go out and find them, because they are here too.
