Stephen Fleming Newbie Plan. Thoughts?
14 January 2025 | 9 replies
That would be a helpful addition to your plan as you would further reduce your cost of living.Also don’t forget from that $600 you are planning on getting in cash flow you have taxes, insurance, maintenance, capex, and vacancy to consider.With two homes, you may want to keep that extra $20k as an emergency fund rather than spending it on a third property and then be left with no emergency funds.The $1,000 a month includes incidentals for maintenance and taxes etc.
