Quote from @Robin Simon: Its definitely dependent on a lot of variables, personal situation/risk tolerance, etc.But high-level, I would say that there can certainly be a balance - sometimes people forget that when using hard money or any sort of financing, for some reason you need to "MAX out leverage" - i.e. do a 100% financing for a flip or a max cash-out refinance etc..However, most hard money lenders would be totally willing to do a lower leverage loan (and would probably prefer it) such as 50% or 60% LTC instead of the usual max amount. 

IF the investment didn't make any sort of cash flow, and put me under water by a good amount every month, then I would highly consider selling.

I'm tired of wasting so much time on dead leads.. does anyone have a good way to get decent leads of high motivated sellers?

I am fairly close to wanting to execute and am interested in some sort of live in BRRRR strategy.

That will be sorted out in the process of the lawsuit.
