Putting $75k down for a few hundred a month in cash flow doesn't make sense, plus, I lose the equity gain from being 12 years into a 30 year mortgage. 

They spend hundreds a month on phones they use primarily as toys, new vehicles when used would be fine, homes far larger and more expensive that any one needs etc, etc,There is no end to the amount of money the middle class spends and then cries that they can not save.

I would suggest spending the few hundred dollars to test it from the get go just to make sure you don't find out too late and have done damage to it creating a "spill" which is a lot more money. 

Even going way out is still a couple hundred thousand dollars.  

If you have seen this being done hundreds and thousands of times, why don't you ask enough people to actually educate you on what REALLY happened.

This is why we are willing to pay a few hundred bucks extra per listing, vs. using an MLS service.

Funding the reserve accounts could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
