@Azzeaz Saleh

Here are the requirements for reserves; (typically less that 6 months PITI, so that might be an overlay)

Reserves aren’t just cash on hand. You can use retirement accounts, whole life insurance policies with cash value, stocks, and bonds as well. 

    Cash Reserve Requirements;

    6 months PITI is required on subject property.

    If you have 1-4 financed properties, - 2% of all upaid principle balances

    If you have 5-6 financed properties, - 4% of all upaid priciple balances

    If you have 7-10 financed properties, - 6% of all upaid priciple balances

    Money must be in account for 60 or sourced! A HELOC can be used as a down payment, but not as reserves.
