This trip I was open to most places in Europe to start and I wanted to leave on 12/6. 

Failure for the fire department to knowingly not enforce leaves the county liable if something happens.  

I'll leave structure to the attorneys.

If it's tight or you're uncomfortable with the tenant you have in there from a confidence perspective, especially if this is a first deal, maybe meet in the middle and get a lender at 75% or 77% (doesn't HAVE to be at 5% increments) that wont make you season, and leave a bit more money in the deal, but sleep better.Overall, if I cash flow well, have/keep reserves, and am comfortable I fixed everything in the house, I like to max out the LTV on refi.

I added "Google Street Pic" to my account and it successfully pulls Google images for about 75%, leaving about 80-100 leads without an image.

@Guenevere F. you're going to need 20-25% down to get a mortgage.If you target $100k, that won't leave you any funds for closing cost, maintenance or emergency reserves.You could try targeting around $80k, but the $16k-$20k down payment would still not leave you with enough.If you buy under $80k, you're probably buying such a low-end property that it is unlikely to meet your performance expectations.

Leave $28K to redeploy in RE.It was hard to walk out of dealership today but I'm hoping I can get a better deal.  

In addition we would like the flexibility for me to be able to supplement my income or leave my employer as we see fit.

Now for the house you are leaving behind…I like to have this one freshly painted, and take action on any maintenance items.  

I'd consider doing some kind of cash out refi on the property at a number you're both comfortable pulling out, while still leaving $ for reserves to maintain the STR you currently have.
