@Sarah Albert Believe it or not, I  basically use credit cards for my emergency repairs.

We have $25k for emergencies, and another $65k either in brokerage accounts or high interest savings/checking accounts, though we're pretty far behind in retirement savings due to some debt I had from the only other time I've been a landlord (a long story about getting screwed by a RE attorney/property manager from a home from my previous marriage), which has been paid off since 2013.I've known about my unemployment since Thanksgiving and am trying to move up the corporate ladder, but am finding it difficult to progress to in-person interviews for job titles that are above anything I've had yet, but I am getting initial interviews for VP/EVP/SVP roles with recruiters.

Based on his financial situation, he should be sure to set aside approximately 50% of the monthly income and build a reserve and I would recommend he cash-flow an additional $100 or more on top of that as a buffer.Jackie Bee makes over $100,000 a year, has almost no debt, and maintains a savings account with three months of income for emergencies.

For the entire building, if need be.For an emergency you can usually enter a unit without notice.

Hi,  I'm a newbie from South Florida.  I'm wondering about less desirable areas now but that area 1.3 miles from the beach. The houses there are tiny and not updated at all but are going for 175,000.  Does that sound ...

schedule to have lunch with him and he told me I should start off wholesaling and bring him deals since then I’ve been driving for dollars while using property radar unfortunately things haven’t been getting any better for me and my emergency saving is running out so my back is against the wall since my my rent with my roommate comes up to 2k monthly.This comes down to me considering to go for an FHA loan to get a 3-4unit MF home, live in one unit while renting out the others, my issue for this is that I don’t have any proof of income and I was working for my school but all I got was cash in hand (Cheque) so I have nothing to show for that.

Do you have other sources of savings you can pull from in case of an emergency?

I have 350,000 in my savings and lost my job due to family emergency. 

Our contract places a $500 limit on unauthorized expenses unless it's an emergency.

Not only can you save 10% of gross rent but you have better control over repair decisions and you can defer non emergency ones based on your financial situation.
