The first thing Account Closed should do, from what I've learned, is take six months of living expenses out of her inheritance and sock it away in an emergency account and pretend it doesn't exist - she's already shared with us that they have a very high cost of living and low savings, which means that if it weren't for this inheritance, they might be like me and may have a hard time weathering a bad car breakdown or a hospital trip with their current income, let alone a huge real estate investment going awry and really hurting their livelihood.Once you have those accounted for, and you've identified the scope of the property you'd like to tackle, you'll want to put away some reserves for it ahead of time just to make sure you don't have zero set aside for Week 1 issues.
