I originally thought BRRRR but am thinking I want to stash cash and try to do that with a smaller house once I will need to put 20% or more down.

With a lower percentage of consumers stashing cash in March than the first two months of the year, the question of whether the end of the pandemic is in sight may be playing a role in how people are moving their money.But perhaps the horrors of last March — cue empty toilet paper aisle flashbacks — and fear of the unknown still to come inspired better savings habits than March 2020.More than 1,000 Americans are surveyed monthly for our Savings Index, and here’s what we learned this time around.Key findingsCash windfalls meet pandemic fatigueGen Z eyes the future, but lives in the nowMillennials want a house, while baby boomers want a housesitterMethodologyKey findingsWhile many consumers await tax refunds and economic impact payments, fewer saved money in March than in the first two months of 2021.

Even with a new cabin you will need to stash away more than $100/month in future reserves for things such as staining the cabin, pool pump replacement, furniture replacement, pool heater, HVAC heat pump, water heater, etc.I'd put more like $250 regular monthly maintenance and $250/month for cap ex.

I have no debt at the moment and $30k stashed away in the stock market, but want to get into real estate, specifically short term rentals probably in the Orlando area.

Not beyond difficult people to say their gold stash is missing after you were in the home. 

Valued at 450k. so I feel like we have a situation where we should take out as much cash as possible against the rentals stash it aside to use as a down payment on another investment property since we won’t be moving anytime soon and won’t have the benefit of buying our next property with a primary residence mortgage. money is cheap now and to keep cash flow at 750/month abd put 50k in a reserve account just makes sense to me.
