Is this a good deal for cash flow? SF Bay Area
For context , I'm a first time home buyer, and I plan on living on one of the detached units, but this calc is for when I move out in a year or so and rent out all units. I still plan on managing the property myself.

1% rule is rare on the west coast.. have to play the hands that are dealt you.
what mitigates it on the west coast is the property could go up 200 to 300k in 5 years. thats were the money is made.
or maybe not.. but to me west coast rentals and rust belt rentals and what constitutes a deal are just apples and oranges.
