Ideally you'll want to be cash flowing $100-$400 all in.

I bought a sfr last year that was a total gut rehab and had a construction loan on it and only had to pay interest for a year.I just found anther property with two single wide trailers and a house on it that are all fully remodeled this year.The bank I deal with said they would let me pay interest only payments for the first year.She can’t really understand why I would want to do that but my opinion is it’s more money in the bank for me which is needed since I’m just getting started.Anyone have any opinions on this?

There are still several potential plays on these greystones, but again they're not just sitting out there for the taking (and they might not fit your investment model) 1.

Ideally I’d be looking in Washington county on the west side if I could swing it. 

So, this is an avenue you can look at if it fits your goals.

The fact that the Saint Paul ballot measure fit onto 1 side of a single page of paper just shows how little thought was put into this move.

Eugene, I deal with a large number of room rentals.

Ideally this would grow and eventually give off enough cash flow to buy more when I get back to the states. 

But if you want cash out or if the loan needs to fit into some sort of framework to be sold it may not work.

Everyone has a different goals and investment criteria, so this is not a one size fit all kind of situation.I will suggest that you clearly define what you what and do some research then go from there.
