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.

*One quirk that made financing more complicated: the banks got nervous when they saw that just two people (the investors I mentioned earlier) own more than half of the 48 units, and wanted a big down payment.
