This math doesn't work everywhere but you do need to be somewhere around there to make it worth it...IMO.

Thank you for reading my post.I have been reading BiggerPockets for over a year. We have one house we have been renting by the room for 3 months. There is a promising looking for sale by owner triplex I'm interested i...

I've got 4 SF houses and that math makes much more sense to me being that I'm in the residential RE business. 

You're only planning to put in $5k of work.Without financing, my math shows a cash flow of ~$575/month, ROI of 6.6%, which isn't nearly good enough for me.With financing, you're cash flowing ~$40/month (25% down, 5%, 30-yr).Bottom line, either get it for a lot less or keep looking.

Unless someone did the math wrong or missed a decimal point, that's really bad and you're way underwater. 

I've spoken with finacial mentors recently, secured a few potential investors, and I feel a wave pushing me forward but I'm obsessed with doing my homework.

I’m getting pretty comfortable with the math and calculators on it, in terms of being able to know what ARV would need to be to make it all work.

I'm going to keep looking.If I'm able to find a 20% down, the mortgage will be around $1900 a month and I would cashflow ~850 a month.Total invested would be the down payment (77k) plus closing costs (13k) = 90k.That's a COC of 11%.Is my math right?

Take lots of general math, bookkeeping, statistics, and finance courses, so you can work the numbers for proposed deals and learn how to compare properties.

And you need to do your homework.
