So the total return is probably better than just the 'cash flow.'

With that being said, appreciation is certainly something to always consider here in SD.Example of current property for sale, $1,800,000 asking price (25% down) - 4 units $10,200 total monthly rents (pro forma) - rental market has seen softening as of late$9,770/month after assuming 5% vacancy rate.$8,981 mortgage at 7%$2,918 expenses monthly 33.38% of Gross rental income (Prop mgt, maintenance reserve, utilities, Prop Taxes, Insurance, other)$6,852 NOI/monthly ($2,129) negative monthly cash flow..Same scenario with 50% down, $864 positive monthly cash flowNot saying it's the best use of capital or the only way to do it, instead providing an example using an available market opportunity to share what the numbers look like. 

The dscr loan is requiring 25% down, and 13000 in closing for a total of 48.
