I’ve learned that credit lines still open is a good look, not so much with loans, they weigh down my score.

If work comes up then you have 40% each month extra to pay off a credit line that covers the expenses. 

There is zero impact on how much cash flow your equity is buying.The bottom line, and most important factor, is not how much cash flow your equity buys but how much cash flow the property itself generates without equity.

If you're ever up in Tokyo and would like to talk real estate, please feel free to drop me a line.  

Ultimately we are searching for products with 30 year ams and relatively competitive rates.

Why not ask, just do 50/50 split for 6 months...or something along those lines.

@Christy Wright Like the others said, there are some great Fannie and Freddie products with 30 yr amt.

Check with local area property manager to get the pluses, minuses, and rental prices to see if they are in line with your requirements. 

This would produce a much lower top line revenue but my net profit would be potentially higher because I am capturing a high percentage of the rent collected.

So it sounds like a straight cash offer would fly.here is the Oregon one  look up Washington oneAs used in ORS 646A.702 to 646A.720     basically what is says is if you buy a property in foreclosure and U flip it you have to give the old owner a % of the money you make on it  there are time lines and %  calcs in these laws.it was for this reason I stopped doing this.. now if you buy at trustee sale or sheriffs sale this law does not apply just in pre foreclosure and these were enacted during the mortgage crisis.. but they remain on the books..
