Also, if being hands-off and not requiring any landlording is what you are looking for, instead of a DST I would suggest looking into regular syndicated investments (i.e., Private Security offerings of partnerships that investment in RE or similar assets).

This includes communicating with guests, coordinating with cleaners and performing any maintenance tasks we have not yet hired out (restocking supplies, minor repairs, etc.).

It’s the negative cash flow properties where the pressure builds on the seller to sell at market pricing.Also, for a number of reasons demand and supply are out of whack in the home market right now.

I know the supply for housing in our area is very sought after. 

Revenue growth isn't tied to interest rates, it's tied to supply and demand in the rental market, plus what other comparable properties are charging.

I am also looking to move to another career, as I am currently in a commission-only sales job and have not made the amount of money I had anticipated, due to supply chain and payroll delays (needing to wait 4-6 months to get paid on my sales).

We pay close attention to the market and review market data through Zillow and Craigslist regularly, as in at least four times each year we put together spreadsheets on the competition on a square foot basis. 

You should supply blinds in my opinion because if you don't who knows what the tenant will put up. 

The process would be about the same as using a regular lender, in that you close and the HML funds it at that time. 

Anyone can wholesale as you know, but what makes a good wholesaler in my opinion is the quality of the numbers and data they supply.
