Leaning toward the 203k, maybe  less pressure to complete in a shorter period, as I will be living there in the SFH.

I am a 2nd Lt in the Air Force over in Fort Walton Beach and I just used my VA loan and have had great success with it.

Another option would be to air bnb rooms and generate 1k a room per month and now your making money.

@Mike Nuss  is an expert at city of Portland rental laws.I think the city is tightening up on Air bnb but don't know about arbitraging them.. but renting a room from someone might be the way to go.. rents are going to be higher here than KC on the whole.. especially if you have to be closer to downtown or OHSU..But maybe we can get Mike to help you out.. 

The cost of the stove depends on which one you would like, but there are only 2 options now for drop in stoves:Kitchen Aid: KSEG950ESS at $2,950 + taxJenn Air: JES1750FS $3,299 + tax

It has a new roof, furnace, water heater, and air handler. 

You made The Money Show podcast with your dirty laundry the last time you aired it in the forums.

Purchase price: $65,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Flip possible Air BNB.

Telling me I shouldn't invest in NJ will not be helpful.If this fails I need to pressure them by raising their rent as much as I can get away with and close the laundry/storage area and refuse to let them store crap in the hallways, which will cramp their style.

We have had significant cash flow from day one.I don't want to sound like its all roses, with so many residents there are always issues like :(1) Please pressure wash your home.(2) No you can't leave living room furniture in the yard.(3) Please throw your trash in a garbage bin not in the road.(4) Yes there is a late fee for not paying your rent on time.Soon we will be able to hire a park manager but we wanted to do it ourselves the first year to really understand the business.
