Quote from @Ray Pantle: Hello, I'm a newbie looking to purchase my first rental property and in need of some advice.My main goal venturing into REI is to gain some cash flow so I can scale down (not quit) my day job, which seemed fairly attainable based on the deals analysis on this site and discussions on the BP podcast, but recently I've seen several forum posts stating it's no longer possible to have cash flow, that you'll be lucky to break even. 

Im extremely motivated to build my own business and develope financial freedom through real estate investments, however as of lately its seemed slightly less attainable.

Monthly cashflow is definitely still attainable.

I think there is value in establishing tierd goals, that are attainable, 1, 3, 5 years, putting forethought into a business plan also holds a lot of value. 

How would you recommend going about it in California, where prices are so high and not very attainable, as I am in college?

Velocity of money, or speed in which you can complete a BRRRR investment and repeat, is key to success, and refinancing with the shortest seasoning requirements is highly important.Loan terms and interest: Cash flow is also an important consideration for a refinanced rental property, so attaining a low interest rate, as well as other aspects of loan structure (term, amortization, or interest only, etc.), plays a big role.Generally, there are three main refinance options for BRRRR method investors: Conventional loansBank/credit union loansDSCR loansConventional loans are generally defined as loans originated under GSE (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) rules and guidelines and securitized.

TIME is the most precious resource, and it's incredible to see that you have attained this freedom.Sending prayers and best wishes to you and your family.

I am in the midst of attaining my PMP certification as I seek to take the exam in the near future and recognize the Gantt chart.
