There's no right answer to this question. *Generally speaking* you get the highest return by committing the least amount of your own capital to a profitable deal. That has to be balanced by maintaining healthy cash reserves, having enough equity to withstand market fluctuations and rental property issues, and your ability and willingness to grow.
