I think our generation has a different view of work / life balance.  

It seems like the assumption in that book is that you can 1) buy a 4-plex for $100k (with a 20% discount at 80k) and b) you can generate $800/mo in cash flow.

I have the equipment to test the pan with, moisture meters, FLIR camera etc.

A small piece of advice put it back on the market with pictures of what the end Is going to look like to start generating interest and possible offers so that way it can be sold once the rehab is done.

This means that for every dollar of debt the property has in generates $1.25.

I quickly knew that I wanted to be on the investment side of real estate and my focus for 2018 is strictly producing income from my job as well as cash generated from fixing and flipping homes (goal of minimum 3 in 2018) in the Central Florida market, including Tampa.

Do the math.Also, you should be keenly aware that on this type of investments you have disabled the two main wealth generators of real estate: principal pay down and appreciation (both natural and forced).

@Ali Boone with 10% down and having as a vacation home and price of the home being roughly $350000 didn’t generate any cash flow according to rental comps

I would just have various other lead generating strategies going.
