Too much, or not enough Equity?

Realizing each investor is in a different stage in life and may have significantly different goals at that stage, I’d like to hear some thoughts on how much equity you like to keep in your property.

Economics are strong where I am in Palm Beach County, Florida. I am not too concerned with a major market correction.

Personally I feel keeping enough to protect ones self from going underwater during a market correction makes sense, but I also see how having too much dead equity can be costly if you are looking to build your portfolio.
