How Much Do You Have In Reserves?
We're learning the importance of reserve funds right now and in the coming months.
In terms of months (I don't need to know your exact dollar amount) how much do you have in reserves?
I'm talking every expense for your property for the entire, regular month. Mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities (even if they're normally paid for by the tenant), lawn care, maintenance - anything coming out of your pocket for the property.
I think we can leave out capex and vacancy for this discussion, I'm interested in fixed or fairly fixed payments you'd need to make if your tenant could not.
