Previously loan officers have not been very optimistic, probably due to her income. 

This seems like a waste of the very advantageous LTCG tax bracket (I'm not concerned with state tax). 

Neither of these require income verification and much easier to navigate versus conventional. 

I could pretty comfortably afford my monthly out of pocket payment due to income and help from my partner. 

I am self employed though so not consistent income. 

Year 1, cash on cash return at 9.46% Over the next 10 years, here are the projected overall returns with 5% year over year rent growth, 3% year over year appreciation of the property, and calculations for tax savings + debt pay down: I'm a buy and hold investor.

I'm trying to evaluate if we should keep the property or sell it/1031 exchange into another investment, but I'm struggling to figure out how to do the analysis.Initial Purchase: $65,000 (Cash)Estimated market value: $250-270k - We'd clear $200-250k if we sold.Current Rental Income (after expenses): ~$1,417My gut tells me that we can leverage the proceeds into higher cash flowing investments, but I don't know how to do the math.

I'm live in Old bridge, NJ and due to high property taxes in New Jersey, PA seems like the best state to invest in(Tavel time ) I'm trying to identify rental markets and research, while trying to establish a team.I've done some research and came up with a few areas in PA include Allentown, Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, Scranton, reading and Kutztown I'm hopping to cash flow between $100-200 per unit is possible (with property management), and can reasonably expect some appreciation in the next 10-20 years (2-4% per year would be ideal, though achieving positive cashflow on my first purchase is my #1 focus).

Which I would think is surrendering the rights due to the inconsistency of income or no income or wages? 

We have 2 W2s( Me+ Spouse).Have a primary residence SFH and 2 rentals.I have around $40K of rental income after all the deductions/depreciation.This time I used a CPA and I am a sure he tried his best to get all deductions possible.
