However if you have enough reserves, 6mo or greater then I'd say chance it but a couple of missed payments from the tenants and you have to foot the payments out of your own pocket.I'm all for taking risks but I think you really need to evaluate the age of the major systems so you don't get hit with a bunch of cap ex all at once as well as your reserves. 

Couple this with the "Cash Distributions from Capital Transactions" clause and you begin to see the real problem.

I've done a couple of direct loans, but for the most part, I work with a mortgage broker who brings deals to me.
