I don't want to jump in here and rain on your parade here JU, however, you may want to take a step back.  Your statement about "made money in the past and 90% sure I can do it again" is something something the posterchild for housing forclosure would say.
If you are going to be scrapping to make the payments each month, then it's not the house for you.  Or, what about working with those partners/investors until you can buy them out in a few years?

If you are set on getting it and are just looking for mortgage advice, I would take whatever one leaves you with 2 mortgage payments and $5k for any misc. repairs left in the bank.

JU I will not pretend to be an expert on anything here, but I will pass onto you advice that my grandfather (who was INCREDIBLY successful) once said to me, Don't spend money you don't have and everything will work out in the end...

This is what I am leaning to.  The property kind of stumbled into my lap and is a deal that I dont think I can refuse.  And I didnt mean to imply that I am going to be struggling to make the payments.  I will have to be a little tighter with the wallet now though.  But I may have room now for an LLPP bbq someday now instead of everyone fitting onto my ghetto porch.

JU the new Trump of the LLPP...

unionfan says go for the 3% .  Cash is king and the half a point these days is relatively painless given the rate environment.  And you will sleep better with cash in the bank a payment coming due, rather than no cash in the bank and a (barely) smaller payment coming...

LLPP see this story about Tatum Bell?

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/02/rudis-crazy-day-in-detroit/

He rips his replacements suitcases after meeting with Matt Millen and getting released then says 'my bad, I thought they belonged to someone I know...'

[Naked Nott Run]

Tatum Bell is officially my first round pick for being absolutely nuts. wooooo

RIP Jerry Reed, one of the finest guitar pickers that ever lived.

union fan tracked down the following local paper season preview for the Dutchmen in case anyone is interested:

http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2008/aug/27/827_gourrier/

Anyone know of any nasty LLPP recruits this year?  The article implies that Union has a couple of sweet transfers, but hard to tell which of the young pups have star potential.

[TGP]

That D&C article TGP posted the other day had a run down on "top newcomers" from various upstate NY D3 schools.

Hobart for instance seems to have been mining the JUCO's:

Hobart top-newcomers:  5-9, 175 fresh. WR Sam Higgs, Bishop Kearney; 5-11, 195 jr. OLB Scott Holton (transfer from 2007 JUCO national champion City College of San Francisco); 5-11, 230 fresh. FB Andrew Kuhn, Victor; 6-2, 215 jr. QB Kevin Mirchandani (transfer from CC of San Francisco); 6-1, fresh. DT Dane Wilcoxen, Fairport.

unionfan I am not quite sure about the transfers this season. The few practices I have seen I have not been able to identify all of the newbies. Looking at the dutch today at practice they looked quite sharp and I was also happy with the team speed I saw. Who knows maybe they will surprise us? For all the talk and my own thoughts of their "lack of" talent I may be and hope to be wrong. They look like they are working hard coming together. Season time will only tell. The only thing that annoys me each year is how much effort it takes to prepare for Springfield's O only to see it once and be done with it. I believe in 09 we are opening with Ithaca which I can't wait for. I love watching Springfield and will be at that game next week but I think it would be better for the team to open with Ithaca.
