I am active duty military and plan to use the property for deployments/holidays for my family to stay near relatives until I separate in 4 years, then to use that property as one of several future investment properties.

Yes I want to invest and I also want to transition from being gone from the family to being home more.

Beg family and friends to fund it for you.They "might" do it if they see you've learned a lot and your business plan sounds very solid.How do I know this "might" work?

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

The cost of a sewer line is the same whether it is on a triplex or a single family home, but with a MFU you can spread the risk.

Nevertheless, a facility is on the horizon and I have now started a non-profit with family to begin a secondary path.

For scaling your portfolio, consider house hacking another multi-family property to minimize living expenses while building equity.

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.

With small multi-family, be careful with the neighborhoods in Indy as it is very street by street in some areas.

I've seen small multi-families (2-4 units) appreciate very nicely in the Lewiston/Auburn area.
