My suggestion if your goal is to free up some equity to use for another purchase - start small with the single family home with a cash out refinance.

diversification and cash flowSan Jose, CA has been very appreciation heavy... and i'm not opposed to keeping some property here, though the multi-family / commercial real estate has very low cap rates, and low growth from what i'm seeing.

This targets family’s between homes, either because they just moved to the area; have a definitive time work contract; current house is being rebuilt/remodeled/repaired; students with “rich” parents; recent separated/divorced who needs space for children visits; Houston medical center stays; etc.  

Here are a few strategies to consider for funding a down payment:Partnering: Like Gregory mentioned, finding a partner who can contribute to the down payment in exchange for equity or a profit share is a solid option.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you have equity in your home or another property, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance can provide the funds you need.Private Money: Reach out to friends, family, or private investors who may be interested in lending you the down payment with a promissory note.Seller Second: In some cases, the seller might agree to finance a portion of the down payment as a second mortgage.Live Frugally and Save: It takes time, but reducing expenses and setting aside funds from your income is a tried-and-true method.The right approach depends on your situation and deal structure, but a mix of creativity and resourcefulness can go a long way.

I am understanding I can convert Operating Partner Units in an UPREIT to REIT shares (taxable) but the benefit is I can sell any percentage of the operating partner units, paying taxes on only that percent I sold.A friend that is a bank auditor, specializing in commercial real estate said:operating costs should total about 30%, leaving NOI 70%For us business people NOI in real estate is EBIDA (T left out as Taxes are an above the line expense)Any know, does the DST have to produce audited financial statementsSo now I feel I am better equipped to work with the RIRep and tackle the recommended PPMIf you really follow the track record of when these multi family unit being purchase and sell, average holding time is 3-4 years so you pay the premium in there and that's why how DST sponsor makes money.
