You would then stress to not incur any improvement cost above $22,000 or you may have to liquidate the property.In this scenariod, $60,000 if you are making an above return at 10% to 12% annually + $30,000 making $4% in a HYSA, the average return is maybe around 8%The blended return would be about 9%You may be better off investing in the stock market, get a slightly lower return but without all the added stress / work.
