If the property is not safe enough for a buyer then it isn't safe enough for a renter either.IMO your ethical choices are to sell as-is (at a discount, probably to another investor) or pull together more funding and complete the renovation.

Keep safe and healthy, and see you around the site!

Make sure it's been roughly a year or longer since your last purchase or refi, just to be safe. 

If you structure a cushion in your deal such as a 36 month lease with the seller and a 12-18 month lease with the buyer, there's plenty of room to be safe.

I think it's safe to say that the renter profile for MF than it is for SF.

With that sim my view is to find some safe lower return investment option and sleep well knowing that the investment is not going to decline significantly. good luck

Is this a safe position to pursue a deal?

Expect to do business and ask for the order as paramount closing techniques  

However, doesn't hurt to analyze a few deals a week to keep you up to speed with market rates in your area.Lastly, everyone has different mailer techniques.
