If your plan is only for 1 year, then you want a 3/1 with no prepayment 
penalty and will allow Interest Only payments. If you must take a prepayment 
penalty, make sure it is a Soft Prepay. With a soft prepay, you can avoid 
the penalty on a sale (or any transfer for that matter), but will incur the 
prepayment penalty if you refinance. You do not sound like you have any 
interest in refinancing, so the soft prepay will be okay for you. You can do 
whatever you want after the prepayment penalty period expires, but you have 
to make your plans around the dollar amount of the penalty for the duration 
of the penalty period.

As a practical matter, I'm not sure you will be able to make any money in 
one year.

I'm taking a 30-yr Fixed that allows the first ten to be Interest Only. My 
plan is to collect rent to cover the mortgage, and only pay the taxes and 
insurance while I own the property.
