Be sure that you have a way to reasonable deal with an emergency issue if it were to arrive, if not in cash, at least with a line of credit or something at a reasonable interest rate. 

So I’m in a good spot and I make 190k a year as an emergency room nurse. 

We used a majority of our emergency fund to make that final payment.

If your city or state is operating in a more aggressive manner or courts are shut down due to judicial emergency, it definitely complicates things further.

Unfortunately in today's uncertain world where one job loss or medical problem can put one's health and finances in jeopardy and if  due to emergency you have to sell the property or properties  after holding on say 20 plus years then it becomes a huge burden unless one puts aside that money every year as a contingency.

Unless you have tons of cash, you should always have a HELOC in case of emergency.
