That's, I don't want to say like I'm dodging it, I think that's impossible to generalize. The track record, in complete transparency and honestly, the track record for DSTs that have gone full cycle is the term use is amazing. The problem however is that that track record is artificially enhanced by the fact that the years that DSTs have been in existence coincided with the largest bull run of real estate in the history of the United States. It was really hard between 2012 and 2022 to have a DST that did anything but perform incredibly well because real estate values went up so dramatically during that time. So the track record of DSTs has been amazing. But as we all know, the next 10 years is not going to look like the last 10 years and we're in a different environment. We don't have cap rates going down tremendously. We have big question marks on interest rates right now. We already have disappointing news that we're likely to have less rate cuts this year than we were hoping for. It's a different time. And so my goal for you to invest in a DST is to have that experience be as boring as possible and boring means right now let's defer your taxes. Let's get you into something that's going to return your capital, provide you a steady income and then let's shoot for some appreciation on the next go round when things return back to a more positive cycle for real estate overall.
