Borrowing some money is a good thing, it'll allow you the ability to do way more deals faster, which is what you are asking, just keep your LTV's super low if that's where your comfort level is.

When I see a split level, I personally reduce the properties value.

We have (2) that rent for $1895 each - 1500 sq/ft SFH w/4Bed, 1.5 bath - income level is $50k - $70K

At least not to the level I need them to know it.

High level I am looking at getting this money as a loan for 1 year and paying 9% interest on it.

That might be the level I "stop" at.

On a personal level I am part of the FI / Early retirement contingency and plan to do this primarily through international geoarbitrage. 

Yes, this is a buy and hold deal and my partner is my brother in law, and it's his first deal, so the trust level is very high. 

Planning to keep as rental, but haven't decided what level I want to take it too.

Supply and demand on a macro level is easy to forget when we get into the thick of a deal.
