Why would you want to add cost to you by adding your cash to the principle? 

look at as many as you need to, to find the right one. and remember that you're not trying to 'cash flow' a house hack. 

This approach allows the property to still cash flow, albeit with a reduced cash-on-cash return (COCR) due to the initial investment in upgrades.

The price was right for cash flow How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You are tenanted and hopefully cash flowing, and it probably wouldn't serve you to sell it with an active leak or ceiling damage.
