@Michael Swan, Here is a question asked earlier that I'm interested in as well:

Something that I was wondering though, maybe I missed it. How much did you start off with? I saw you said you put $6000/year away and you put about $25-30k down each time. How much did you buy in your first year? After that I'm guessing you refi cashed out and used that plus cash flow to purchase the other properties the next couple years or did you go straight to 1031's?

Do FHA with 3.5% down. Also, I would shy away from 1 bedroom anythings. My uneducated opinion...

Current Loan 142,000  Amortorized over 30 years @ 3.2%
Repairs $0
Mortgage & Insurance 930/month

I planed to cancel the existing insurance and put my own in place at a much cheaper price. It will bring my mortgage payments down to 800/Month

Taxes 580/Year

Cash flow opportunities

Potential Rent 1500
Potential Lease Option 1700 + 15000 down with $200 option money

 You are way off on taxes and insurance is going to be ~$1k per year. 

This does not look like a deal at all to me when considering cap expenses, other expenses, property management, etc.

 The taxes you quoted are on the raw land. After the new year the new taxes will kick in for land + dwelling. They are going to be 2.5-3%.
