Where to Keep Reserves - Brokerage vs. Other

[Robert McCormick]

I've recently reached my savings goal and am ready to purchase a property in the near future. I currently have funds saved up for a 5% down payment, closing costs, and some small repairs right out of the gate. These are saved in my checking account so the cash is immediately available. 

I also have around 5-6 months in potential mortgage payments saved in a brokerage account run by a robo advisor in case of long term vacancies or any larger major repairs are needed. 

My question is, since I'm about ready to purchase, would you recommend pulling my money out of the brokerage account and into a checking account so that it is readily available and doesn't risk fluctuating in value? Or since the money in the brokerage account is just for emergencies, should I just leave it in there to allow it to potentially grow, further padding my reserves overtime? 

(It's worth noting I do have other personal cash reserves and even if my brokerage account would fall 25% in value short term, this wouldn't be too big of a blow)

Thanks!

@Shanti S. I was stating I would be ok with a 25% loss in general as far as my risk tolerance goes. My brokerage account is currently run by a robo advisor so it's my understanding it automatically rebalances my portfolio for me so I don't need to worry about adding stop losses for specific securities, ETFs etc. It will automatically sell once each ETF falls below a certain threshold and will reinvest for me.

I plan on keeping the expenses in a checking as well, but the 7.4% APR sounds awesome. I just sent you a DM about the 7.4% for more info.
