Investments are best done before it's an emergency!

Do I only reveal that I have $40k, when in reality, I have a total of $55k but that's for downpayment, closing, renovations, immediate fixes, emergency fund, etc? 

When my mindset changed from having an emergency fund to having an opportunity fund with extra savings or credit lines, it was a breakthrough.  

I only have one exit/entrance but I have a deck on the second floor unit so I'm thinking I can have a emergency ladder that goes to that from one of the windows.

The trade-off might be worth it in order to avoid this problem in the future.

Simon, Here in FL its much easier for us because we know a few things:1) The U.S. is severely under supplied in housing units. 2) Tons of people are moving to Florida everyday which makes point #1 even more drastic for us. 3) Interest rates are preventing people from selling their homes, because then they would need to re-trade for a higher interest rate buying a new home, which is creating even more housing demand.So with this knowledge, now we move to more market specific data, which is what I talk about in the original post.If a market shows decent growth and demand, then it all boils down to the numbers.Its important not to forget about any costs though.

This shift aims to avoid the high costs of renting temporary locations as the company focuses on stabilizing its business after emerging from bankruptcy in 2023.Meanwhile, Spirit Halloween is expanding aggressively, with a record 1,525 pop-up stores for the 2024 season, offering immersive experiences with animatronics and interactive displays.

Hard to tell from here, but your prices seem very high, although I do understand that "emergency" service during the high heat season will cost dearly...As LL, appliances, including HVAC that you have provided in working order, you need to repair or replace as needed unless local law AND your Rental Agreement state otherwise, obvious misuse/abuse excepted.

As it has been more than 48 hrs since I have been informed about mold, could I enter the property and take it over as an emergency issue ?

then ( at least in Oregon) contractor would sue lot owner for unjust enrichment.. and lot owner ends up paying double for many of the trades..
