My issue with DST’s is that there’s a lot of weight on the investor to do due diligence on the deal.  

Exception would be floating floors, the weight of the cabinets could prevent them from expanding and contracting and could buckle them.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets, I am addicted to answering questions on property management, if you ever have any.It sounds like you are on the right track with the education side of the business.My words of wisdom are:Good property managers are worth their weight in gold, look for strong property management companies in the areas you want to invest in.Property management, tenant relations and maintenance are the most important part of the investment game.When you buy your first property and make your renovation list, remember that the roof you think will last 5 more years, may only last two.  

Currently employed full-time at San Diego State University, and want to gradually get into RE. 

It's kind of like where it snows a lot, you have structural things built into your code to handle the weight of the snow, etc.

Is it a big giant 1-10 scale of quality, of course not but with some very simple quick effort a person can be vet'd on here and that is darn unique and worth it's weight in gold.

If you qualify the person as a good prospect, I would go there unless its a long way away.If someone tells you they want to get $200k the first time you talk, and it ends up being worth $75k, I'm not sure if I would spend too much time on it,,but do your research,, often sellers have to be "walked down",,brought down gradually to the true price of what they own.I buy and sell radio station license,,I had someone that wasn't looking to sell, but I needed what they had,,he started out at $800k,,,we finally went to agreement at just under $400k,,but that didn't happen overnight, it was several weeks, lots of research, and we came to a deal that was good for both parties

(not sure exactly what they filed)So as I understand it , there is no JT because it isn't specifically mentioned on the vesting deed, and the deeds of trust carry no weight, but everyone seems to think there is JT.
