@Langdon Root,I know - it's a 3-unit, so it finances like residential.You should still consider it's ability to produce income when doing your valuations.From that perspective, you may be able to force some equity.I didn't run the numbers, but at first glance, the operating expenses seem a bit high if the gross income is $1800 and the CADS is only $400.

It wouldn't be fair for the other friend to be stuck paying those fees.Let me give you an example with some made-up numbers.Let's say your property produces 10,000 in rental income for the year.  

What are people using, besides Facebook, that is producing good networking?

This is actually fairly common, and arguably an ideal situation - you have the property producing income on day one, but also have the option of terminating or altering either month-to-month lease. 

Will it be income-producing?  

After a 2 day odyssey of trying to resize and upload the images here, I believe I have finally produced something that is viewable. ;)Hopefully this thread hasn't seasoned to the point where everybody is ignoring it.  

The market is hot in Sacramento and it seems to be getting harder to find a rental propery that will produce positive cash flow.  

You'll see that some of the homes can produce a very attractive return on your dollars invested.Keith

you have a few options.. in high priced west of cascades markets No cash means no luck and no business.now you could venture out to old logging and fishing towns in rural WA... and probably scare something up in the rental realm.. but those would be basically non appreciated assets and really why own them anyway... with no money your 100% leveraged in the rental realm and as such cash flow with be minimal.. so unless you can seriously scale I think its a complete waste of time and energy.If you want in the RE game and have no money best way to get in is to get licensed and go to work for a top producer getting paid to learn.. and learn in a manner that is sustainable.. this no money down stuff can work in some situations but its not a consistant or very productive in our markets here on the west coast.. too much cash competition.. that's the reality.

It has 4 separate units on it and currently is producing $2500 a month.
