Yes - but I do make decisions on the reasonably certain worst case scenario. Such things are - unseen repairs - vacancies - tenants that don’t pay. Then figure out how you are going to proactively protect your self (really good inspection, additional cash on hand, round up in repairs, get solid contractor quotes,strict tenant screens guidelines, treat tenants well so they want to stay, etc).

If you never invest - you will never get a return. Too conservative would be that...
