The best laid plans always look great until 2 or 3 unplanned and unexpected things happen at the same time. 

Ultimately, I feel good so far about the deal-getting it more in line with the appraisal gives me much more room for unplanned expenses.As this wave of price valuations goes up, and I'm raising rents to cover the increased taxes and insurance costs, the margins get so much tighter on a deal like this, that seeing the seller adjust as needed makes me feel much more ready to tackle the unforeseen.

It’s always a good idea to add a little “I.C.E” funds to your repair cost Incase anything goes unplanned.

A fellow BP member and I connected for the first time serendipitously, but unplanned on Earth Day to talk about the opportunities of real estate and the ability to leverage it to create change, particular in the field of sustainability and sustainable development.

You're going in a good direction in life so we don't want something unplanned to set you "off course".  

We had to do some unplanned car shopping.

Here's a thought that might help you decide.If you are earning income in Mass and not filing an entity or individual tax return on it, you will be having bigger problems than just a $500 unplanned expense.  

Those unplanned for expenses come quick and hard.

And actually I now tend to just take care of these things right away because its such a pain to deal with unplanned issues with things, especially furnaces.

Obviously that and the appraisal still need to go smoothly so I'm trying to keep my excitement in check for now.And to top it all off, I have a 3rd interview with a company tomorrow whose office is less than a block from this house, totally unplanned.
