Other options?

Hi Brittany - @Samuel Eddinger provided you some great options for meet ups!

I would highly consider house hacking if that's an option for you. 

I would really appreciate any feedback on options that may work in this type of arrangement. 

If you want to house hack, the best option in DFW right now is probably to buy 4-5 bedroom home and rent bedrooms. 

Disclaimer - I am not an CPA or attorney but I became financially free doing this for myself after 10 years working as a w2 engineer :( and I am sick and tired of seeing highly educated and hard working professionals getting stuck in the rat race because we deserve financial freedom and the option to do more with it.If you are able to implement a real estate professional status tax strategy (REP) you can use passive losses from syndication deals to lower your ordinary W2 income.

He has a ton of units in and around Worcester and in similar areas and is licensed and able to help find off-market and on-market options where you want to look.

You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

This is not intended to be a discussion about the options for investment, rather how to conduct real estate settlements in non fiat currency.It is (or should be) evident by now that the status of the USD as the world's reserve currency (or at least our exorbitant privilege) will continue to be marginalized in the coming years (and decades) and that investors are factoring in elevated risks of currency inflation and debasement into and onto their portfolios.
