After discussing several points I wanted to dive deeper into the merits of large vs small down payments, mainly could a larger down payment make a non-profitable deal more profitable.

But I would not sell on an emotional spur, as you know your prime property’s values will be significantly higher 5-10 years from now.  

Being insulted would apply emotion is attached to the property, which is never good for business.

The deeper I dig the more I realize this is a relationship/trust situation and sometimes that doesn't show up in the numbers.Thanks in advance,Mike

Making decisions having to "consult" with a partner in a emotional relationship is a pita.

That doesn't mean to be reckless, but to not let emotions control your strategy, which sounds like what you've done. 

Don't get over eager or emotional.

Whether that is through some sort of free information you offer prospects for providing you with their contact information, or using compelling copy to elicit an emotional response from your prospect...you will need something more than a glossy card with some canned words and a pretty house and/or a pen with your contact info on it.  

I will say that it is located a little deeper in CT than bridgeport is, which may or may not affect whether you want to invest there.

If it floods deeper and stays flooded for longer than a few days you would receive the full 80k.
