 So I give you $250,000 and you'll give me $240,000 over the next year.  Wait, I'm still out $10,000. I need more details.

 So I'm working for you for free? Obviously, I need more details.

Hello, 

Newbie here!

I'm putting an offer in on a triplex in southern California for about $950k...

If I put 25% down...

Find a different market I relocated from Orange County CA(Tustin) because it was not a place I could productively invest.

I Love Seal Beach but not at negative cash flow

My current market would generate $20,000 a month in POSITIVE cash flow just from the down payment you are talking about. AND appreciation is beating S Cal.

There should be a valve on the inlet of the hot water tank.

TURN IT HALFWAY CLOSED!

There is a temperature setting on the burner

TURN IT WAY LOWER!

Although of all the areas, I would caution folks most about Boston Edison.  You can have a 7,500 sq.ft. stunning mansion that backs up to a burned our shell of a house.  You have to know which sections of B.S. you're looking in. 

Same story in Indian Village Burns /Fischer streets share alley with some of Detroit's best houses on one side and some of the worst on the other.

What I don't understand is that I hear on the podcasts and such saying they are paying 30% less the sales price. How can sellers be that desperate. I just don't see how realistic that is and how often do you guys pay so much less on properties. All I said to the agent was that I wanted houses that were 140,000 ARV an that were 3 bd/ 2 bd no more than 1500 sq ft. I read the BP house flipping book and I just not grasping how people will be willing t sell a house so cheap.

Apparantly your potential agents agree!

...I've posted it aat $1100 a month and I'm getting quite a bit of interest so hopefully things play out well.  

I'll keep you all posted @Adrian Chu

 Cash flow seems pretty good where you are at.  Best of luck!

Best of BOTH worlds!  Best Cash flow AND Best appreciation!
