I cannot find good cash flow properties that can produce these type of returns.  

I'm selling my primary home which has a $1700/mo income producing rental used for MTR/STR.

Anyways, I am a single mom of a 2.5 year old little girl, and at the age of 32 have finally gotten to a place where my financials are in order (I graduated from college a bit later in life after teaching acting and producing plays throughout my 20s!).

Lenders have expanded their guidelines to allow for up to 85% financing assuming healthy credit and income is producing above what the debt obligation would be for the home. 

Value is a function of the income the property produces.  

You want to make sure as a long-term hold it will produce 5%+ CoC return, and once you finish renovating & stabilizing the property, it will be worth at least 15% more than you bought it for.

Also consider the mix of assets in that is one producing good cashflow and another appreciating above average. 

Yes, they are projections as they are new, but the amount of due diligence and research that goes into those is so we can produce positive results for our clients.  

@John MichaelsThese are markets that have higher cap rates, lower pricing, and produce more cash flow.

STR's are the most management intensive way to produce cash flow on a property and Tokyo is 9 hours ahead.
