Me and my wife have saved up and then unexpectedly received just over $200,000 selling a small business we stared a couple of years ago. 

If you don't like it, don't do it...but don't actively wish or take delight in the fact that others MAY be failing or getting the due on sale clause exercised.

A detailed budget factoring in potential unexpected expenses should be considered.

It's a good move to keep things separate – set up a business checking account for your rental income and expenses, and maybe a savings account for unexpected stuff or future upgrades.

It's impressive to have it almost ready to be rented, especially with the unexpected challenge of repiping the house.

So, interrupt the pattern and do the unexpected to learn more:)

Rehab projects almost always come with unexpected / unaccounted for costs.

Your debt service will also be lower which helps avoid getting pinched by unexpected expenses and being forced to sell.

We ran into some unexpected costs last year, so aren't able to contribute much to the down payment on the next property right now as we build up our savings again (DP will be her contribution).
