I believe the frothy bubble that is our financial market will pop. Whether real estate will collapse as it did before, I am not sure. Keep your seed capital close, and perhaps invest in a foreign currency that may not be as badly affected by an impending financial crash. 

I would shoot for double your down payment. That way, you have enough if things begin spiraling, and you can get  a good start on your project on your own terms.

A good, trustworthy foreman cannot be replaced by any efficiency improvements you could try to apply. Find a contractor you can trust, and develop a healthy working relationship and respect. Pays off in spades.
