Convince a partner that you are willing to put in a large amount of the funds needs so they feel comfortable. 

The rental income should cover the mortgage which is great but if I found something where it didnt cover it in full but my family was comfortable I would still be open to it.

The money will run out way before you can retire comfortably with cash-flow. 

But if you look at it as property with 4% coc (which may be challenging to achieve) then it will be disappointing.In a city like Houston, I personally look at an owner occupant house as a depreciating liability - just like car, clothes, shoes, furniture - something that I will use everyday and hence I should like it as a place to live rather than an investment.

@Jacob Phillips - I try to keep three months of expenses for ALL my expenses (business, all rentals, personal, etc) but aim transition to 6-months emergency fund over the next year (we just had a second baby).Given you have only one rental, I would be much more comfortable with 6 months expenses and at least 3 months personal expenses.

As i was looking for my first deal I felt comfortable working with someone I new.

Or, what interest rate would make them feel comfortable and happy.

If the park is asking you to do something you don't feel comfortable doing, you may want to look at other parks to work with.
