The decision is a personal one and depends greatly on how old you are, if you are supporting a family or just yourself, how many properties you currently own  and your overall tolerance for risk and ability to motivate yourself. 

For someone with less capital to invest, I might be your best fit because you still want to grow your capital and might be more risk tolerant.

Noticed the nuanced response regarding purchasing a turnkey, rather than a rehab, and tolerating a mild cash flow deficit at least initially while one resides in the property. 

The market you buying in, the individual asset, and your investing goals/risk tolerance all play a large effect on how you should interpret the information. 

I could only speculate..What is your risk tolerance?

Somehow, Lowe's customer service is pretty terrible here, I'm not sure why, but I find HD much more tolerable.

To be honest, if the unit were in better shape I'm not sure I would tolerate her drama and BS.Your thoughts and input as always is graciously appreciated!

If you're willing to tolerate those risks, it could be a fine thing for you to defer the capex. 

Find a roommate if you can tolerate it.

It's not a walking city so being near these stadiums and new builds doesn't matter people just drive there (Look at Trump tower for an example)  You can do it if you are adventurous and have a high tolerance for pain, but...don't get excited about those properties going up in value anytime soon.
