Now that it has been a year old thread, any updates from any of the investors/members
on the performance, deals, K1 headaches etc. ?
Also, approximately how many active members are in the club as of now ?

@Nuatu Tseggai - Curious to know how your flock shares have been performing over the past 2 years and what the current dividend rate is ? Would you be willing to share here ? Thanks !

Thanks @Norman Schultz for circling back with an update. Good luck with the DST.

I actually ended up paying the taxes since the property I sold did not have a lot of capital gains. Still keeping an eye on the DST/721 options for my second rental.

@Amit M. This is a great question.

@Jon Taylor - In a similar vein, I am guessing most recent DST's have loaded up/valued their portfolio at the current/recent peak. What are the risks when valuations start coming down ?

Also, this "
Did they return AT least my entire original investment (regardless of
upfront fees). If that is your goal (which it should be) then the
percentage of DSTs that have met that expectation is far lower than 95%."

doesn't bode well.

Should the expectation with the DST's then be just capital preservation with guaranteed yield after all fees (even then, most don't deliver) ?

Didn't most of those rental to primary residence conversion loopholes get closed over the years ?

Very interesting article @Carlos Ptriawan

I guess an analogy is, if DST's are mutual funds then 721-DST's are index funds.

Wonder what the ongoing annual fees for both DST's and 721-DST's are ?

On this note, what about mortgage balance that is paid off as part of the sale ?

I am assuming that need not be reinvested, so net cash = selling price - any mortgage paid off, right ?

@Jon Taylor - Curious to know what the average ongoing and/or exit fees are for DST's and the DST-721's
