My current monthly mortgage is $1978 (8 yrs remaining for 15 yrs refinance) and $1300/mo needs to be allocated for property tax.The problem I have is if I lease the house with current mortgage payment, I would not make any positive cash flow due to higher monthly payment and high property tax rate 3.15% (Yes, it is Texas).According to the local realtor's rental comp, the rent for my house would ranges from $3100-3600.

The rehab works appears to be been well done and this place is already rented and ready to go.Using the 50% rule, and this may be being misapplied by me, it appears to only be a decent purchase at $100k; based on goals: CoCR > 25%, TRIO < 5 yrs, Cap Rate > 6% at $100k it is right on the line of those goals.Financing through local commercial bank that I have worked with in the past, 5yr 20am @ 5.5% (might be between 5.0 and 5.5), assuming 20% down and about $5k in fees at closing.
