Assume break even cash flow while rented which includes a generous $600/mo repair fund. 

Roof lines, window styles, and masonry/siding all play into this natural flow, and the biggest mistake you can make when designing your flips is not following the flow that is already present!

So eventually this negative cash flow property becomes cash flow positive and pays for itself including property taxes, hoa, mortgage etc.Trying to calculate how bad is my investment here or should i sell out if there is appreciation 

Flip side, for a third of that you are trained to find properties using creative finance taking over existing low interest loans that cash flow and you are buying in decent neighborhoods with every day lunch box Joes that have kids and go to work and pay rent on time. 

I would rent both units out and should get $350 in passive cash flow. 

Buying a second home to rent out is a solid strategy, but be sure you understand the cash flow, including mortgage, taxes, and potential vacancies.

. $150 cash flow on any rental especially a triplex is dangerzone imo. 1 month of vacancy of 1 unit could destroy a years worth of financial gains.  

Over the years, with personal investment alongside investments from family and friends, I’ve been able to build a small portfolio of apartment buildings with a focus on cash flow through strong operations.

With the equity you’d free up, paying off $50k in personal debt and boosting your credit score while freeing up $3k/month sounds like it could significantly lower your stress and open doors for future projects.That said, selling means you’d lose a cash-flowing asset, even if it’s not huge.

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.
