Flexible on 1% rule if the down payment was low?

[John Anderson]

Hello BP community. I’m curious to hear from both early and seasoned investors.

If you had the opportunity to put down less than 25% on an investment property would you be willing to take less than 1% in rent per month? For example, if you only had to put down 15% and earned 0.8%, would you still do the deal (assuming no other red flags)?
