It currently rents for $850, which is under market for this neighborhood (market is probably $950).With taxes, insurance, debt service, management expenses, 10% for maintenance, 10% for capital expenditures, and 10% figured in for vacancy, I'm calculating a current cash flow of $90 / month based on the $850 rent.I know that's not stellar, but here's why I like it:The neighborhood is one of those neighborhoods I really believe in -- it is minutes to downtown, and central to major redevelopment and transit projects in my city (Atlanta), and it may just be one of these hot neighborhoods that becomes one of the great places to live.Right now, this is the cheapest on-market property in the neighborhood -- the closest comps are in the 85-95K range, and several flips (not comps, but nicer houses on the same block) have sold in the $200K range in the past month.

When looking at Portfolio Lenders you have two types of transactions: (1) Purchase; or, (2) Refinance.(1) When looking at a PURCHASE, you should expect to get up to 75% of the Purchase Price of the property...assuming the DCR (debt coverage ratio) can be supported by the cash flow of the property.  

If the home is being appraised as LTV should be post construction, if you are looking for a renovation loanI know this is probably not the exact answer you were seeking, but I think it should help broaden your play and help drill down the lender through a simple process of elimination, based on very specific qualifiers you define as it pertains to your specific strategy.

Not sure that I will qualify using Tax Returns due to high debt to income/and real estate investments.Asset backed loans (no income verification) are 5-6%, a little higher than I would like.

The HOA lien is Not superior, but any unpaid HOA debts Do transfer to you, the new owner.

You could search for the type of properties you would want, price point, size, owner current debt, etc, etc, and the system will find properties that will likely make a deal.

If my numbers are correct, at the low end of 1700/month x 15 units x 12 months = $306kDiscounting 5% for vacancy, 10% for management company, 25% for expenses and debt servicing PITI, it seems that the return is approximately 18% per year. 

The bank says may debt to income ratio will allow me about 100,000 purchase price but the properties I want to invest in are 150,000-200,000.

I'd eliminate the house that's much larger.
