QUOTE (C2Ventures @ Apr 19 2008, 09:49 PM) Yes a "reserve fund" is VERY important to incorporate into every purchase. I would suggest 1 month`s rent as a minimum. In some markets we are putting 2-3 months rent in a bank account as a reserve fund just to make sure.
I would also suggest putting at least 5% of monthly rents into the reserve fund as well as a great way to mitigate risk. You never know when the furnace or roof needs replacing.
Hope that helps...
Thank you Monte, very helpful to integrate that amount in the purchase.
