I have built a retirement account of roughly 70k and have approximately 15k-25k in equity in my house currently.  

When I account for 10% vacancy, 10% repairs and maintenance, 10% CapEx and the numbers above I end up losing money every month.And I know I could argue that I don't need to account for capex/repairs and maintenance as it's completely rehabbed, but I have the understanding that the deal should cashflow anyways with that accounted for.

We have been using creative financing options to this point in order to maximize opportunities and due to limited financial resources of our own.We have what seems to be a great opportunity to buy a triplex in Salem, Ohio via seller financing; (my husband and I analyzed the numbers, taking into account cap ex, possible vacancy, management, etc. and it is a great opportunity numbers-wise.)

If said tenant paints the house, moves in with no deposit to be held accountable for and then goes ghost in the night midway through the lease, you're left holding the bag.

Account ClosedThanks for the replay, I would love to go to the REIA meeting.

I have a buddy who lives in that town and each time he posts online with a check in I get a kick out of it.

Not going into details, he sounded very different on the phone than he looked in the online profile he was putting forward.

Yes, see an accountant!
