The low rate was a personal favor to someone I know, and after one year the rent will go back to 1300 and stay there.If I'm doing this analysis correctly, I believe I'm projecting a negative net cash flow.

It seems to me that there may be something else out there that may be a better fit for you at this point, though granted, I don't know your personal circumstances (wife, kids, etc.)From my perspective, it seems that if you don't have the cash to put down on something, then you have few options other than moving and getting favorable down payment terms.
