In general it's a passive way to own real estate as the tenant takes care of the headaches and cost of repairs in most situations. 

Hello my name is Dashawn Marquez and I am currently learning how to get into real estate.

I am assuming you closed through escrow, used a standard real estate contract and met the deadlines described in those agreements.

@Doug Webb for commercial class residential (5+) units, the general guidance you'll get is that you should be taking possession via an LLC, as there are no real advantages to not doing so besides the minor overhead of forming and maintaining the entity.

Is an interest in a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) considered real estate ownership or a security in Florida? 

Moved to Austin 13 years ago and am finally on board to start my real estate journey.

I am new to real estate investing but am interested in fix and flip projects and building a rental portfolio.

Getting into real estate investing has been on my mind for a while now.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.
