First Rental Property - Savings?

Hello BP Network! My wife and I are just starting with our first rental property and wanted to see some opinions on how much we should be saving from rental payments for future expenses? Thank you in advance.

I like to have access to around $8K for a SFH rental. Worst case, I can replace an HVAC and water heater in the same timeframe. You also need to be saving for insurance and tax payments.
