So I did so, and eventually put it on the MLS through a local broker, and luckily got it sold and broke even. 

Do you have a dream home in mind that you would eventually love to have, or maybe a couple of vacation homes?

Now I'm in a position of looking to attract a partner to grow a real estate business and grow a portfolio of mainly Multi family properties and eventually into Commercial development down the line ( I'd also like to invest in some single family).

Build a profile of this town, and use it as leverage in your eventual negotiations of the triplex. 

I invest, so I can eventually not need to have to worry about paying for my kids' college educations or my own retirement.

And eventually get into multis!

I’m thinking long term and would like to also flip, buy and hold, the brrrr method etc. eventually.

In addition, they would have outstanding market appreciation of the SFH.The higher rent appreciation market will always eventually have better cash flow than a lower appreciating market as long as the higher appreciation market Rent appreciation is greater than the expense increase which is virtually certain in Ca with property tax being basically a fixed price and most mortgages being fixed rate. 

@Zeke ListonThe end goal to wholesaling is to save a little cash, get some some hands on deal experience, and eventually invest myself.

They even had their company carpentry guys completely rebuild the large screened in porch that had started to rot.The company eventually moved their entire operation to China & we took the place back assuming it would revert back to an everyday PITA rental.So, we decided to sell the home to a contractor acquaintance & we held the note @ 10%.
