In addition to checking their references, asking about their current workload, seeing photos of their past projects and so on - be sure to take look at the cleanliness and organization of their work vehicle if given the chance.

I don't know when it will be, guys like Fink, the world governments are the vehicles used that are used by Rothschilds and Co. to do it all. 

Pretty tough math right now to replace $150k in annual income through rentals, at least if you plan to use leverage (which is the main advantage of real estate over other investment vehicles IMO).

Here's some things I would consider:Vehicle must be licensed and in operating condition.Do you care if an RV or large vehicle gets parked there?

I would not envy investors who participate in this vehicle when the team has not track record of success with it. 

I've also looked at house hacks as vehicles to buy other properties through HELOCs.

I guess my biggest question is, is this some place you claim to use or is it purely an investment vehicle?

On $400k net profit, shifting $250k to distributions can save you around $35k in payroll taxes alone.Reimbursing home-office, vehicle, phone and internet, per-diem travel, and health-related fringe benefits, where eligible often adds $15k in annual tax efficiency.Solo 401(k) from S-Corp wages can shelter $23k to $69k+ depending on age or profit, creating additional deferral/savings.Rule of thumb:If net flip profit greater than 150k/yr, the admin hassle may outweigh savings, you will need to optimize insurance and stay in your name or simple LLC for now.If net flip profit less than $200 to 250k/yr or you’re scaling partners/crew, an S-Corp usually pencils, savings can exceed compliance costs by 5–10x.This post does not create a CPA-client relationship.

You have to make 'sacrifices', maybe don't buy a $50K vehicle every 4 years, cook at home more often instead of eating out/ordering in, etc. 

Can we combine the DST strategy with retirement vehicles (Solo 401k, SEP IRA, Traditional IRA) to shelter more of the proceeds, or are   those completely separate lanes?
