Saving for emergency fund

Hello all,

My question is about how much of a reserve pocket you guys think is necessary before buying the first rental property.  I know from listening to the BP money podcast you shouldn't buy when you aren't financially stable so I don't want to make that mistake.  In 4 months or so, I will have my general emergency fund funded with about 6 months of expenses.  Would you say this is enough or would you have a separate amount saved up for only investment related "emergencies"/capex?  Thanks for your input.
