I'd like to next buy a duplex/triplex and step foot through the multi-family investing door while continuing to do single-family house flips.  

To give some more info, I live in San Diego where you can find a 1,000-square-foot home in a safe, decent neighborhood (although inland and less upscale) in this range.

Best of luck on your investment journey, you're certainly starting on strong footing!

@Kevin Phu I am an Aegis Fire controlman, moving towards working in the medical field fixing linear accelerators for Varian.

the numbers are as follows:purchase price: $ 25,000rehab costs:      $   5000closing costs     $   3000ARV                   $ 60,000 ( professional appraisal)projected profit              $32,000I have purchased several houses in this city and currently own 2 right in this neighborhood, in fact, one right on this same street. the code enforcement officer in this city and i are literally on a first name basis and he has never, ever set foot inside any of my rehab projects because, in his words, " i trust your work". i feel greatly confident in my knowledge of this neighborhood and its ability to sell quickly. 

We could examine crime maps and cost per square foot heat maps against typical rent if you would like to become more familiar with this market.Best investing,Donn  

Looking at maybe just doing a basic white plastic tub with a plastic surround.Flooring – I need to get about 300 to 400 square-foot of tile installed.Basic handyman and drywall work – it looks like there are a couple of areas where water pooled outside of the house, and a little bit seeped in, so some drywall needs to be replaced, and probably add some type of sealant to prevent the leaking in the future.I have already been looking through many of the forums and have found a lot of great information.

Recently, I’ve started to view my 15-mile training runs through nearby neighborhoods as a sort of prospecting method —a foot tour of sorts— helping me determine neighborhoods I might be interested in investing in.My goal with Bigger Pockets is simple — I hope to learn from other investors within the community, leverage the tools and resources to improve my ability analyze potential deals (to help my 40-something-year-old-self gain the confidence to do what my 20 something-year-old-self knew was possible long ago) and contribute to the community where I can with the experience I have.  

The hotel has been established for 15 years & the owner has showed my all of his paper work and my yearly income will be $100,00.00 easy so once I can get my foot in the door , I can easily repay my investors it's just coming up with that initial $ 125,000.00 that is my biggest hurdle at the moment .

Most commonly when they have a weathly family back home that is footing the bill for everything stateside.
