For me, I am having issues stomaching such a high increase for a property that isn't even flipped, considering somebody who is not an investor might just want to buy this house and live in it?

Hey BP friends,I’m curious to hear how other investors approach emergency funds/cash reserves for their properties.I’ve been keeping individual cash reserves per door, but as my portfolio grows I’m having a harder time stomaching the idea of chunks of cash sitting and not earning interest.

If you can’t stomach sharing your kitchen with renters, then obviously try for a low down payment loan on a 2-4 unit.

If not they might not have the stomach needed for investing.

(If you can stomach the local government).  

I tallied up: a gut-rehab, multiple evictions, and a rental strategy that I had no stomach for. 

IMO if you're not getting at least 12% on your money you're better-served investing passively in index funds provided you have a long enough time horizon to stomach the sequence of returns risk when divesting. 

Personally, and I'm heavily biased, but I would invest in South Florida if you can stomach the climate change issue.

On the other hand, if you were to set that money in a separate account (which is HIGHLY recommended whether you use the funds or keep it sitting), that's $5,625 in interest, which I'd rather not pay if I don't need to.If your business can stomach a $6000 insurance policy (that's how I look at it), by all means take the money.

I just finished David Greene’s “long distance investing” book and as I was reading it, my stomach kinda churns thinking about the challenges of doing OOS.
