Personally, I advocate for a long-term investment strategy and would recommend investing the funds, provided you are comfortable with the expected return on investment over time.

I usually look for 10% return if not more. 

The PM had a plumber go to the house, incurring an after-hours emergency fee, but was unable to assess the exact cause of the issue at night, stating it's either a frozen pipe or pump issue and they need to return during the daytime to fully address.

I see what you mean about offering a higher return to a potential investor, especially if they are not familiar with my character/experience in the industry.

If it provides a nice return on investment and you plan to hold it for a long while, then it makes sense.

I find that it produces better returns and work great to trade up and accelerate wealth building. 

And, if a higher return is offered with moderate risk, don't believe it.

This means a deep dive into your Internal Rate of Return ((IRR). 

I think a return on invested equity analysis outlining a few scenarios with my models would answer your questions.
