I am going to put an offer in for this triplex this week. It is REO and will need some some rehab. I am planning on doing most of it myself and with family members. Me and my dad have rehabbed a house before after renters destroyed it so we have some experience with it. If there is anything major that comes up during inspection I am out.

Here are some numbers. Please tell me anything I have forgotten or made an error on. I ran three cases in my spreadsheet to get a full scope of the possibilities.
