Retain a cash reserve to cover vacancies or downturns, and align with your long-term goals by consulting a financial advisor.

I'd personally never take capital that I am paid to manage without committing my full-time effort to the situation and putting a majority (I reserve the right in the future to make this 1/3rd of my position) of my wealth into the situation. 

Beyond something of extreme nature I find most things are repairable, especially if it’s a rental.

If your side could rent for $1,400 then that's what you should pay so you have money to set aside and build a reserve.
