Hey Richard, based on the numbers you presented that sounds pretty good, the owner occupant strategy with MFH is a great way to grow a portfolio quickly due to the low down payment.  Especially since lenders can do an owner occupant conventional loan for as low as 3% down. 

Is it going to be a 17.3% return with you living in one unit?  Or is that with all 3 units occupied by tenants?  

What area is the tri-plex in? Where is your house? Most likely the tri-plex will appreciate a lot faster than your SFH, I think it sounds like a pretty good idea.

Hey AJ, rehab scene in fresno is pretty good still.  Like many places, the rehab scene favors the hustlers.  The friends I have that are succesful in this area are actively pursuing leads through auctions, friends, etc...  There is alot of money to be made if you go at it hard.  

Any specific questions about Fresno I can help with?

Hey @Lakshmi Pramod Gutha , good luck in your search!  If you aren't yet working with someone in Fresno I'd be more than happy to have a phone call with you to see if we would work well together.  

I got started as an MFH investor in Fresno and then became an Agent.  You can also look me up on Zillow if you'd like. 

Feel free to message me if you'd like to discuss the Fresno market.

@Lorenzo H. possibly, not having earned income may hurt you in the pre-qual process.  See the message I just sent you, you have options.
