$200/month divides into the $100K initial negative equals 500 months to recover the initial negative equity.Let's double the cash flow to $400/month.  250 months to recover the initial negative equity so over 20 years.Let's reduce the negative equity position to $50K (which likely is less realistic than expecting $400/month cash flow at that rent point), you are at over 10 years to recover the initial equity position.Now let's do it with all cash, no financing.The 50% rule state $900/month cash flow.  900 * 12/200K = $5.4% or about half of lifetime return of S&P 500, or what can almost be achieved with a zero work, zero risk CD.I see no way that someone who understands the numbers will call this a good investment.Note just because an investment is better than most other investments in a market does not imply something is a good investment. 

I would be leery of an product or service being promoted that has zero negative reviews.A 1-star review is often not realistic and will tank the algorithm in your first year for sure because it's not balanced out yet.

A few things you need to consider is how much can you realistically rent out each unit once you move out.

Because you realistically won’t be covering the expenses of the property where it justifies the risk or investment.  

Now that we've had 12+ months of peak rates, I've seen sellers become more realistic. sitting on sidelines wasn't a big deal when equities market grew by 20% each year and treasuries were yielding 5%. 

Hi @Carlos Rodrigues,Realistically, it's unlikely that sellers will get permits while in escrow.

Start with these three key points:Current SituationAssess your current or expected capital and credit within a realistic timeframe.

It’s tough to pull off something similar with $50k-$100k in a short period—it’s just not realistic.

Small upgrades or re-leasing to market rents could boost your cash flow and provide additional funds for your San Diego purchase.If you'd like, I can connect you with a lender or help you explore potential properties in your preferred areas to see what’s realistic within your budget.

Scott,  @Steve Vaughan is  one of my all time hero's on BP and someone I think gives the absolute best advice on a realistic methodology for attaining this mystic financial freedom from RE .
