@Alberto Cioni Typically, the broker commissions within a DST investment are 4-6%, and the rest of the fees are used by the sponsor to structure the offering, marketing fees, lender fees, reserves (any remaining returned at disposition), etc.

Some lenders will offer you 100% financing but it will be expensive money to borrow. 

It seems every place I read about has a few good reviews and then a couple reviews that make the company sound so bad I don't even want to waste my time calling them.

I would start speaking with lenders about your plan to get insights on how the logistics would work. 

If they don't, make sure you leave enough reviews.

Here's some advice and insights on utilizing private money and home flipping to get started:Private Money: Lenders of funds to real estate investors that provide better returns on investment than standard financing choices are known as private money lenders.

There are lenders that have a 5-8 program and some that go up to 10 units.

Not sure if you are the lender or the buyer, but I've also heard/seen several buyers who have paid off the contract for deed, but can no longer find the seller to provide the release. 

Instead, the lender wants to see that the monthly income from the property can cover the principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA (if applicable). 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
