If the money is lost, it's lost, and if the prospects for recovering it are very low, it's usually smarter to play to the future than continue to try milking funds from a dry cow. 

Even after explaining that we have black carts for regular trash, green carts for yard waste, blue carts for recycle (paper, glass, aluminum), the good ones would throw burger wrappers into the yard waste carts, put soda cans and bottle water into the regular waste carts, and put caulk tubes, left over 2X4s, and an entire ceiling fan into the recycle carts. 

We just got fined $50 because the tenants in a duplex put a trash bag on top of the recycling bin.

-Building on the last question: wouldn't you rather let the whole "cash flow recycling" program run its course?

Buy all the materials/fixtures off of CL or recycle store.

I had a tenant who put milk out for feral cats then insisted that we get rid of the smell from under the house.Plan on replacing the same things over and over and over. 

So if I were to use the entire 56k towards the purchase of a distressed property to BRRRR, I could recycle that cash to use it again as I pay it back (I pay back 5k, I can immediately use that 5k).  

I pay trash/recycle service. 

If you recycle your cash flow from the first BRRRR property into the next, it can grow even faster.

The banks like to see a revolving line as well, not just milk the HELOC b/c it's good at the moment and better interest rate than long term fin.
