Do you flip or buy & hold?

Any experience and input regarding your Parent company that hold several real estate LLC in different state?

AttomData has a few more data sources than zillow and they licence their data for resale similar to landgrid ( I'm sure you can just get a regular consumer grade API from them as well).

You can do this by going to local investor meetings regularly and talking with everyone, until you find that person you can bring some value and learn from them at the same time. 

Can I ask to hold off payments until I start renting it out?

Because DSTS qualify as real estate for 1031 it is almost a surety that once someone owns a DST they will always 1031 when that real estate is sold - either into another DST or back into regular real estate. 

I am mostly interested in buy and hold rental homes with maybe a flip mixed in there.

@Jonathan Aldis, that's the norm - to tack together the holding periods. 

If you ask any investor, they wish they did more and had a longer hold time for equity and cash flow with rent increases. 

We decided to keep the March bookings with the current PM but temporarily hold bookings for April.
