Having the cash means you can balance a higher amount down to make sure you earn the cash flow you want monthly, but also leave some around for more. 

If you need to earn more figure out what to do.

Hopefully your agent can help you out - this is where they earn their money.

Investors buy shares and earn returns through dividends and potential stock price appreciation.You typically can’t lose more than your initial investment with publicly traded REITs.

Failure is the required ingredient.

Whether I find a new tenant or not, the departing tenant moves out after 30 days and is treated like an ordinary termination, which means I process their deposit like normal and they can earn a good landlord reference.2.

Your only real question here is how much additional equity can you earn before you sell before the rate resets and before you lose your capital gains exclusion, versus the opportunity costs if you sold and cashed out now.

I also have a good amount of capital.Looking to get into flipping to earn more capital and also hold some properties to build my portfolio.

you have to calculate the interest costs.and.... it makes zero sense whatsoever to buy something turnkey with that much leverage. none. you'll never, ever pay back the HELOC with the non-existent 'cash flow' from the property.just trying to be realistic. the market is unforgiving right now.would there be any tax benefits for loss of income on property to offset high w2 earnings?

While it does not cash flow, you are at least earning money by paying off that mortgage which is approximately 60% principal.
