If you know where to look and have the right time, you can find properties that cash flow.

Also you will greatly improve cash flows and now you will have 2 CA properties from one. makes as much sense as splitting a unibrow into 2 eyebrows lol3.

There are probably a thousand different cities across the US that are still producing great cash flow.

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years. 

Apparently they take preferred interest in your company or have you sign a UCC cash flow agreement.

Just to be candid and realistic - we are not in a cash flow environment right now. 

Are you cash flowing the property?

Duplexes cash flow better, have less risk, AND EASIER TO MANAGE compared to a SFH.  

Raising money is all about marketing and sales (not real estate specific) so either hire marketing agency and read sales books, or hop on some LinkedIn courses on marketing and sales.Not sure the legal structure to use: talk to accountants and attorneys.Need deal flow: talk to brokers and go to a lot of networking events.Lending terms: start calling banks and loan brokers.From there, it is all risk mitigation. 

As the cash flow is obviously much worse than you can earn in the bank with a basic CD.
