If you were able to build equity over time, it could be smart to sell, pay off your loan, and use the money for another venture (flip, investments, etc) if it is truly bleeding you out.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I also recommend that you attend some local real estate investment meetup groups.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Over the past quarter, I have seen around $1B in defaulted fix and flip loans - many of these from new lenders since 2020 and more of a "tech platform".As we all know, the intersection of tech and real estate investing has brought incredible innovation, especially in hard money lending.

Most lending is based on cashflow, not the 2% rule (although still a good rule of thumb for some types of investments), might have the most help from the group if you provided some of those details here just so it'd be easier for us to help you best. 

@Chris Ke With $200K for a down payment and the ability to invest full-time, consider starting with a 4-plex or multiple single-family homes (SFHs) within a 5-hour drive of Los Angeles in areas like San Bernardino or Riverside.
