I'll add that your income and personal reserves may help guide you. I agree for one property that $10k is pretty comfortable. I have 12 properties and am very comfortable with a $30k reserve, economies of scale, the likelihood of 4 properties going vacant or 3 roofs needing replaced at one is so low. Also the more doors you have the more monthly income you will have to off set issues in portfolio. Good Luck!
