He or your 1031 exchange company should have a in depth grasp on the positives and negatives of a DST.

Any insights welcome here and feel free to blow up my structure because I know I've got a pretty loose grasp on all the concepts here.

@Yang ZengYour situation presents a common dilemma for real estate investors: deciding between investing locally where you might be more familiar with the market but face high property prices, or exploring out-of-state opportunities where properties may be more affordable but come with their own set of challenges.Here are some considerations:Risk Tolerance: Take into account your degree of comfort and risk tolerance while managing properties remotely.Objectives: Specify your investing objectives, including cash flow, appreciation, or a combination of the two.Market study: To fully grasp the development potential, employment opportunities, and rental demand of prospective out-of-state markets, do in-depth market study.Hybrid Strategy: Another option is to choose a hybrid strategy, where you invest in a combination of local properties for stability and simpler management, and you set aside some of your portfolio for out-of-state properties for diversity.Before making a decision, it's essential to consult with real estate professionals, conduct in-depth market research, and possibly network with local investors in the markets you're interested in.Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and the best strategy depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and personal preferences.

It's important to have a good grasp of financial concepts such as cash flow, ROI, market trends and expenses.

It is difficult for me to grasp certain things without being able to witness it or experience any real transactions.

Frankly I'm not into wholesaling, but if an opportunity shows itself, grasp it.

I've done a lot of researching here, and everything I've read is extremely valuable, but it's difficult to convince myself that I've totally grasped the situation without getting any feedback.

There are very few rehabs that are only going to take $5-10k to get it fully rehabbed so you need to account for more and many times $25k won't work but that along with $65% of the ARV will get you in the ballpark.Any online website that gives you sold information is fine but a realtor would probably help you out a lot until you get a better grasp of it.

However, as of recent, I have started to dive in REI world, trying to get a grasp of all that there is to learn and identifying what specifically I want for myself.

If you have been doing this since '09 you should have a pretty good grasp on wholesaling and rehabbing by now.
