Realistically I want to flip year round, but I want to have enough rentals under my belt that surpasses my W-2 income so that I can use flipping money for funding....or travel!

Based on number 2, I schedule them for the next round where I meet them in person at one of the properties. 

One of the # 1 rules of real estate is not to try to stick a square peg into a round hole.

I would probably pass and find something easier for your first go round unless you can get it under contract for half it's real value.

However with stable tenants bringing in $21,600/yr and only about $6,000/yr in expenses, your NOI is about $15k (rounding down), which should be enough to pay your mortgage with a little leftover.

Here are the numbers I do have per a 2015  P&L (Rounded up)  There is also a 1064 sq ft office included.  

Sod is installed year round in most areas of the country, surely California can handle it.Also who is supposed to mow this lawn?

Sorry for the long post and all the round/estimated numbers but I was so young and didn't have a clue what I was doing so I don't have them saved anywhere readily accessible.  

I just had second round of appraisals done on properties and I have accumulated close to 50k in appreciation on all properties since I bought.  

Homes sell year round but spring is generally the busiest time April through June.
