What do I do if Y should happen?

If the experienced investor has X number of personal notes and Y number of JV notes, do the personal notes get priority because she/he has money to lose on those? 

My partner and I are looking at one in Houston with the expenses and deductions totaling ~45% of the gross potential rent of the property:That includes 10% for vacancy allowance15% for planned and unplanned maintenance (lawn, CAM, repair allowance)7% for property management12% for Taxes and InsurancePosted deals often excluded expenses, so I want to ask the BP community for wisdom.Questions: To the experienced eye out there, how does those expense %’s look?
