If they are comfortable with the numbers and it makes sense to be the one stop shop though, that would be icing on the cake!

I equate it to baking a cake.  

My main concern is cash flow, right here right now, and everything else is icing on the cake. 

Downtown Nashville is a tough market, but should be a piece of cake compared to California.

This particular oceanfront complex is in demand with renters because it's within 1 hr to LA (Disneyland/Anaheim) and 35 min to downtown San Diego attractions (Seaworld, Zoo etc).

I'm not going to mislead anyone who wants to run STR's, and thinks it is a cake walk.

I recently came across a fourplex that I like, it's build in 1965, the listing is $773,900 around Anaheim area, all units have 2 bed and 1.75 bath, 970 square feet of living space; each unit will have 2 parking spot and a shared community pool. two units are renting for $1375, one is renting for $1300, and the last one is at $1250 for a total of $5300 per months.

My parents were living paycheck to paycheck just to afford a mortgage payment in Anaheim, Ca.

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad ~ 2-3 years back, I knew I didn’t want anything to fancy (fixed up) or to close to market value, so my first target for buying my first home was going to be foreclosures (ideally that did not require too much work).My plan was to gain a bit of equity by fixing up a foreclosure and eventually either selling it or using the equity in the house (3-5 years down the road) to buy my first rental property.As luck would have it, I was fortunate enough to find a house that matched my criteria and was also fortunate enough to win my bid on a nice house (foreclosed).The icing on the cake for this deal was that my initial purchase price was $50,000 less than the appraised value.As a result, I now have a potential $60,000 in equity in the house.

We also have a condo going in Anaheim, Ca. we purchased for $250,000  this is a flip for us as well.
