Rough cash flow analysis:

Rent: $1495/month (first ads. in Craigslist asking for $1475, but found out the rent market is demanding)
1st Loan: 120K (30Y fixed at 6.375%): P and I: 748/month (no closing cost)
2nd Loan: 30K (HELOC at 5%): Interest only 125/month

Mortgage payment: 873/month
Tax: 149/month
Insurance: 45/month

Total net cost: 873 + 149 + 45 = 1067

Initial remodeling: $5000 - paint, tile flooring, and back yard concrete.

$1495 - $1067 = $428/month positive. (not counting vacancy & maintenance, only for entertainment/educational purpose)
