Pay cash and then after 6-9 months do cash out refinance. - in this case, I will have more time to shop around for better loan terms/rates etc. 

I'm looking mostly for if I buy a 4-unit quadplex (example, or Triplex), how to calculate NOI, Monthly Cash Flow, Rehab, Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash, etc.For example, whenever I find a property on Crexi, Loopnet, MLS, etc. the NOI sounds good but when you factor in mortgage to get the cash flow, it's almost always negative.I also don't know how to properly calculate a rehab to see ARV so that may be the other issue.

Hi Albert,Positive cash flow house hacks are very difficult to find in CA.

What type of financing or cash are you using to purchase?

If the intent is to flip it, there are two ways people buy houses 1. with borrowed money 2. with their own cash.

FYI my goal is to always increase cash flow.

I'm not sure you should feel confident about the return on your equity if there is no cash-flow.

Has anyone identified a creative way to get residents of properties purchased at foreclosure to leave on their own without having to pay Cash for Keys or bearing the cost of evictions?

Would doing a cash out refinance first to purchase next property hurt the process in anyway?

My clients absolutely love it here because they are finding deals that are cash flowing, hit the 1% rule, and have tons of appreciation.
