I am attempting to purchase a triplex and a duplex on a single 2.5 acre parcel.

I think this is the single most important part of the decision in order to set you up for success in passive rental property investing.

To avoid problems, it’s best to add these locks after the appraisal on a turnkey purchase or after the refinance is complete.Also, most DSCR lenders will assess the property’s market rent as a single unit rather than the combined rents of individual rooms.

We also have different single family and duplex models available. 

They don't appreciate fast like a single-family home might in this area.  

To second what Jessie said, with $150k in cash, Memphis could probably get you into 4 Single Family Rentals that are each cash flowing in a matter of a couple of months. 

Second, single family homes as rental investments are not generally sustainable in Sacramento, as you've quickly learned.

It is difficult to achieve this on a single day. 

And your generally not always but generally dealing with folks that only own a single property or very few not the sharpest tool in the shed other wise they would not be letting wholesalers step in and make more than a normal fee.. 

Wife and I bought a 3 bedroom single family home in Merced CA.
