Or tell your best friend to do so?

I have about 8K to start investing, which I know is not a lot, but with 3 kids living in SoCal, we are already pinching pennies. 

This property would be my third investment so I'm undecided on moving forward. 

Unfortunately, we get too many calls from clients that got the run around, poor communication and service and/or were the victims of a "bait and switch". 

Just attempting to get them to email/call me back has been difficult after I DID NOT choose to buy their services on the initial call.

If I were the neighbor, it sounds like I'd be the only one bringing money to the table so you could get something you want.

Leverage  anything in the US  so you can  use the cash to buy in CR  ( US home / 401K / other assets ..etc)  ...pura vida !

Thank you so much! 

Hello All, I am new and this is my first attempt at purchasing a property with the intent to create monthly cash flow.The property: Triplex Listed at $140,000 - Total monthly rent income $2,150 - Tenants want to stay and are all willing to sign new leases for 3 years - 8 beds 5 baths and 3,500sqft livable space on a 4,800sqft lot - Heat and electric paid by tenants and water trash paid by owner $180 month - I have managed to talk the selling price down to $105,000 with a kick of $10,000 for closing and commissions so $115,000 all in - Building is in fairly good shape according to pictures and questions but have not done a inspection yet - some general maintenance repairs are needed according to the seller but nothing that seems to bother the tenants. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

It's crazy because there are so many platforms.
