Work with my insurance now to make sure they cover temporary housing costs due to displacement from emergencies or condemnation of the bldg.Thanks for taking the time to read.

Now, different story if you are saying your dedicated real estate purchase funds can't swing 3.5%+closing costs without dipping into your emergency fund.

What if you need to take some emergency leave for yourself for a family member?

The roof is the concerning part; Down payment would not tap me out and I would have plenty reserved for emergencies; When it comes to my schedule, I am going to shore duty so I will have a lot of time to self manage and that is what I want to do.

Have been through something similar.With regard to the other two, closing is not scheduled until after FLORENCE passes so that’s an interesting problem set as well and one which I am open to advice as well.My family is safe and out of the area, and I will be manning the emergency operations center on base (I’m military) until we get the all clear to poke our heads out.Thanks in advance.

The inspector cited a slip hazard on the back porch, which was a 24-hour emergency fix.

Do you sell homes, if owner wants to sell, at what point to do call them for approval, what about emergencies,  Make sur eyou have a trust account, so there is no commingling of funds.

@Ashley WolfeWe have our cleaning lady take care of everything as a flat fee 60 dollars, and tenants self checkin with lockbox We habe two onsite one as emergency and one that gets changed after every tenant.

Its nice to have emergency money sitting there for when you need it.

If you mortgage yourself up to 50% then try for a new loan or a HELOC that is where you will be stopped.....but if you have the HELOC and its not being used as kind of a in case of emergencies then you will be okay if you find a great deal you could then use that money.
