Is $20,000 enough of a cushion?

I also pay for moving company to move her in and usually try and pay a month of rent if there's enough cushion. 

@Kevin Knight watch the market closely. deals will pop up. might be tomorrow. might be in eight months but they are coming. don't expect price appreciation before three years. have a deep cushion because renters can and will bail.

It's a bigger mortgage, but higher cash flow, and a little more of a cushion in terms of vacancy rates.

While my cash cushion from the last 2-3 years will help me weather the storm, I am worried about people like my maid who depend on this income to put food on the table.

We’ve got a cash cushion in the bank, cash flowing assets that will more than cover our lifestyle and the mindset to control only what it is that we can control.

Its 20 % but i wanted a cushion plus repairs i needed to make.

Might have run out of money after installing new HVAC, Updating Electrical, New water heater, Paint, 1 side of vinyl, etc.Rehab Needed: $25k (I am figuring $35k to have a cushion)Scope of Work: Update Flooring with LVP, Update Kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, appliances, paint inside and out (interior does not need paint but has outdated color), update baths, install vinyl siding on 2 sides (2 sides already have vinyl), Replace Windows, Install new entry doors, freshen up the landscape. 

These policies have been enacted to cushion the impact felt by businesses around the country due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Have some extra cash and put a little cushion in your numbers.
