But doesn't that support the notion that the landlord should have been available for that emergency?

And it seems way too many are high on hopeium with some notion that Cash-Flow from "A" point in time is a universal forward-cast of permeance. 

Its more about the deal and less about the notion of tying up all your cash. 

I completely disgree with the notion that using credit cards for purchasing properties is irresponsible but I can respect the opinion.

I disagree with the notion that real estate needs to cash flow, otherwise, it's a bad investment.

However I am not selling someone on the notion I am going to hand deliver everything I learned in my career for $15,000.

Even a spreadsheet or notion template would be ok. 

BUT - if Susie maintains liquidity in the form of emergency reserve cash, untapped credit revolvers (through HELOCs taken out at the $500,000 notional value of the property, before the change in prices), or some other way of paying for the new roof or the uh-oh without additional or new financing, then she won't have to worry about property prices until she sells, which in the land of Warren Buffett is never. 

@Mike LambertI concur with the widely held notion that a few years ago, the properties in Tulum experienced a surge in their occupancy rates due to low supply, leading to a remarkable increase in average daily rates (ADRs).

However, I keep on holding on to the notion that the original intent of BP was to share experiences and help everyone in the community with like minds to prosper and avoid pitfalls if possible.With my limited experience, I have had a chance to meet a few people on this forum in person to connect and grow.
