Just make sure you don't put your self in a risky negative cash flow situation that may not be sustainable. 

The reason I say to be cautious is because most projects take 3-6 months and a lot of over head at first, this can be a little risky at a time like this.

Investment property loans are seen as much more risky than a loan against your primary.

Even a "mature" rescue dog can be as risky as a puppy because there's no history to show how the Tenant and dog behave.I charge extra rent for each pet. $35 for animals under 30 pounds, $50 for animals over 30 pounds, and $75 if the animal is considered a dangerous breed.

We took on wish risk I think.

I own the property management company so feel comfortable with 5% but wanted to see what others are using...8-10% is pretty common as a conservative.I'm definitely pushing the CapEx & Maintenance down (I do use the 5% typically for Maint and for SFR use 7.5% for, but at 16 units I've seen people say to use $250-350 per unit per year which is how I came to the $250 or 2.5%...Might be too risky, was pushing it down because the property is basically new and from my walkthrough very well maintained...I actually couldn't identify deferred maintenance or issues...definitely appreciate the feedback here.) 

It's risky, there is a reason it's called "Speculation", but there is massive success potential and monies in it as well.

It's an ugly and quite ridiculous proposition, but desperate times... 

We have also read that some investors roll the dice here and do the quitclaim process and hope this doesn't happen - seems very risky? 

@Daniel Guerra I think @JD Martin did a good job explaining why it's risky to pay up front.
