In your situation, having negative cash flow, which is generally the case with faith investors you need to get out before you can't.I would be looking to sell now or very soon and get into multi units.

The HIGH cost of repairs, turnovers, vacancy was killing my cash flow and starting to erode my faith in buy/hold investing.   

It is not a bad idea to partner with a PM, and especially if in good faith intend to work with the PM, then there is no harm in going into a contract with one if you ensure you can back out of with 30 days notice if you are unhappy. 

Is that recourse for me to get the good faith deposit back or is the risk I am taking loosing the deposit? 

I own a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom single family home that i currently house hack by renting it out to 2 tenants.I recently took the leap of faith and got started up with a wholesaling mentorship program so i can eventually become a full time wholesaler.

You're going to have to estimate it in good faith and just go with that. 

I have faith you can do it.You need to monitor interest rates and your credit rating regularly anyway.

If I treat them that way, I will be a lot less dependent on VRBO/HomeAway.I am also looking into some regional Florida sites and Vacation Soup but I don't have a lot of faith.

Is this a personal home, rental propery or a flip project.Is this a long term hold, are you a faith investor.

I would only put that amount with one of the big 5 national title and escrow companies.. for those that have blind faith in small closing attornies remember they are just people and its not a rarity that they screw up and steal peoples money.. it happens.. and its one thing to have 5 or 10k at risk but 400k  Large NO WAY NO how from my point of view.
