Readers are advised to seek professional advice. 

If you have recommendations for Plumber and electrician as well that will be great.

Not as walkable, however, as some of the neighborhoods that you have referenced here.  

What are your cost / fees3.

It’s fantastic to see your passion for BRRRR, mid-term rentals, and money lending—those are excellent strategies to build a diversified and thriving real estate portfolio.

I also recommend you discuss this with your tax advisor.There are many other alternative asset classes to invest SDIRA funds into. 

Once I had a few in mind and was working with a realtor that understood my target market, we could narrow down my search results. 

I am also in Florida and qualify for the homestead exemption, is that double dipping on the taxes or are they different since the homestead is property tax and the 1031 is capital gains tax?  

But then on the other hand you are treating your family as a transaction and have rental income.

There are examples of DSTs that included an exit into a REIT that DID NOT ALLOW the investor to do a 1031 exchange.
