Why Keep an Emergency Home Repair Fund?

Unlike a general emergency fund (for income disruption), a home repair fund is specifically
for unexpected repairs that must happen immediately — a burst pipe at 2am, a failed furnace in
January, a tree on the roof. These can't wait for savings. The fund should be separate from your
general emergency savings and replenished immediately after a draw. Most financial advisors
recommend keeping 1–3% of your home's value in a liquid, accessible account dedicated to
home emergencies.
