I would gander that stashing 600/month will build you a reserve fund pretty quickly that can handle most issues.

Being that most of us are living from pay check to paycheck the idea of building a nice stash of ready cash sounds enticing.

With that being said when 12 months comes and i'm short on a down payment I have a little money stashed that I would be willing to use. so to answer your question in short was it has hard as I thought... no not at all, its great !!!

Now lets say I choose a MF property...Example: B grade 4 Unit @ $200k  w/ 25% down ($150k Financed) @4% If I were to stash away six months of PITI (around $1k per mo) + a $5K unforeseeable fund this would equal something around $11K.

Or are you stashing it away in a traditional IRA?

But, Mike I can agree I can stash away some more cash to have more reserves to be an a better position.

We've never had a HELOC.Don't be in the upper-end rentals in your area and expect that you won't take a hit in a recession.Other than that, as I've said before here on BP, you need a stash of Kalasknikovs and ammo in your basement for apocalyptic scenarios.

@Mark S.Yeah, I’m 34 looking for some options to stash pre tax money away and reduce my tax burden

Hello all,My good friend/business partner and myself currently run a business with 50+ employees and have been stashing away cash over the last couple of years to support a venture into franchising or real estate.
