I understand the cash flow and cash on cash return will be lower, but we are looking at holding these properties for the foreseeable future so, we are expecting to make up for this with appreciation.  

Expect 80% and maybe get 85% if you have a good deal and credit north of 720.So on 80k that is 12k, then closing costs of at least 5k. 

Not every off-plan project is a surefire win; some are overhyped, and others don’t live up to expectations once completed.

that doesn't mean they're not a good investment, just that you should set your expectations accordingly.

On my end, I would never purchase a property that won't produce at lease 1k in net cash flow, and it must be in a desirable area that is expected to appreciate.

She’s been a guest on numerous podcasts and other programs to tout her investing prowess.But some who invested with her expecting big returns allege she reneged on principal and interest payments on the loans they made.

Why did your deal fail or not meet your expectations.  

When I do it for me and my clients, we go very conservative to give better expectations of the transition process, than if it goes better, great!
