If it does work, then you will be pleasantly surprised and have a little extra cushion for your rehab budget. 

I put 20% down when I got the loan, and have been paying a little extra each month.

Other options would be to offer an extra incentive to the seller to extend the closing or provide security in the offer, like a higher escrow, etc.

If you have an extra portion in your home or a garage you can convert that would bring in decent income with the rental market being as high as it is here in Hawaii.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

Along with this the USD is buying $1.30ish AUD so you are getting an extra 30% buying power with US Dollars

I'd take a look at the Truth in Renting pdf put out by the NJ DCA.

I think there's some truth to say that rent controls will reduce some enthusiasm for investment dollars in Oregon, but one has to ask, "As compared to what alternative(s)?"

do i get a part time job for extra income?
