🚨 THE MISTAKE THAT DRAINS INVESTORS’ RESERVES FASTER THAN THEY EXPECT
I see this happen all the time.
💰 An investor has $40,000 available.
Instead of keeping it as reserves…
🏡 They try to put every dollar toward the down payment on the next property.
📉 Their bank account is almost wiped out.
Then…
🚪 A tenant moves out.
❄️ The HVAC system fails.
📆 Vacancy lasts an extra month.
That’s when the real pressure begins. 😬
The investors who stay in the game long-term understand one thing:
🏡 Not every deal needs to be purchased.
🛡️ But reserves should always be there.
Because in the end…
💵 Cash won’t make you rich overnight.
💪 Cash helps you survive long enough to win.
👇 If you only had $40,000 left…
🏠 Buy another property?
Or
🛟 Keep it as reserves?
