You should have a minimum square footage of home (and possibly a max), minimum bed/bath count, location specifics (can be multiple locations), type of properties (standard sale, REO, short sale, probate, etc - I go after them all), and your price point of $250k should have a specific range, for example $100k - $300k.

You may be counted as high risk with the multiple loans, so financing in general may be difficult depending on your current income.Also, if you haven't already, take a look at what the current leases are renting for.
